Nestle Japan is retailing KitKat as a baked chocolate bar, which can be enjoyed as is, or put in the oven for a few minutes to produce a unique treat.
The baked KitKat bar has been released across Japan, and comes in mini original chocolate or mini pudding. The bar can be put in the oven for two minutes and when it is taken out, the inside is gooey among the crisp outside wafer.
This enjoyable chocolate bar has been a popular choice for many people, and over the years it has endured new flavors and sizes; but this incentive to have it baked turns the traditional chocolate bar into a special treat. Although Nestle stated that only this specific bar is made to withstand the oven, there is an incentive to create other options of baked chocolate bars.
