Nestlé has hinted vegan KitKat could be coming to Australia soon after the confectionery brand delighted fans around the globe with the launch of the plant-based version.
One of the world’s most popular chocolate bars have been transformed into a vegan option with many claiming it tastes just as good as the real deal.
The plant-based version features a ‘perfect balance’ between crispy wafer and smooth chocolate that people know and love.
‘It’s absolutely divine and tastes. It tastes just how I remember a regular KitKat to be, very impressed,’ a UK vegan food blogger wrote on Instagram.

A Nestlé spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia the vegan KitKat will be launched later in the year across a number of countries worldwide but remained tight lipped about the exact launch date.
The new vegan KitKat – called KitKat V – has so far launched in the UK, with several countries expected to follow suit.
‘One of the most common requests we see on social media is for a vegan, so we’re delighted to be able to make that wish come true,’ Alexander von Maillot, head of confectionery at Nestlé, said.
‘I can’t wait for people to be able to try this amazingly tasty new. This is a product for everyone who wants a little more plant-based in their life.’

The plant-based product was developed by chocolate experts in Nestlé’s confectionery research and development center in York, the original home of KitKat.
‘Taste was a key factor when developing the plant-based chocolate for our new vegan,’ Louise Barrett, head of the Nestlé confectionery product technology center in York, said.
‘We used our expertise in ingredients, together with a test and learn approach, to create a delicious vegan alternative to our original chocolate.’
