Hershey is expanding its Kit Kat portfolio with the introduction of a new thinner version of the classic chocolate and wafer snack in the US.

The new Kit Kat Thins have only two light and crispy wafers, compared with the standard Kit Kat bar’s three layers of wafer.

Individually wrapped, the new bars are said to be great for on-the-go snacking.

Kit Kat Thins will be available nationwide in 3.4oz bags (RRP $2.39) and 7.2oz bags (RRP $3.89).

Hershey recently unveiled a new selection of Valentine’s- and Easter-inspired products for 2021. 

The new Valentine’s Day products include Hershey’s Hugs & Kisses Heart Box, Reese’s Peanut Butter Rose and Reese’s Big Box O’ Love, while Reese’s Mallow-Top Peanut Butter Cups and Hershey’s milk chocolate Pip Bunny are launching as part of the Easter offering.
