HERSHEY, Pa. -- The "Big Kat" Kit Kat candy bar is now available in convenience stores and Wal-Mart. It hit retailers in March.
The 1.5-ounce Big Kat is a large, single bar with five layers of wafers (vs. regular Kit Kat's four smaller bars with three layers of wafers) and a higher chocolate ratio. It also comes in a 3-ounce Big Kat King Size.
To complete the full range of size availability, Kit Kat also comes in Kit Kat Mini format.
Hershey showcased Big Kat among several upcoming new products and packaging updates at the annual National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) show last October.
