American Kit Kats are made by the Hershey company and no money goes to Nestlé.
Explanation:
Kit Kat used to be a Rowntree’s product, and Hershey bought the right to make the candy in the U.S. in perpetuity back in 1970. When Nestlé bought Rowtree’s, they had to abide by the contract to license out the Kit Kat for no royalties, because the only condition of the agreement is that Hershey loses the license if the company ever gets sold. And since selling the Kit Kat bar is so valuable, buying Hershey for what it’s currently worth would mean instantly losing a large amount of Hershey’s value, so even when they’ve tried to find a buyer, nobody will buy the company—even Nestlé refused to buy Hershey in 2002.
If you’re in the US, KitKat here is made by Hershey.
But look at Nature Valley “Chocolate Peanut Butter Wafer Bars.” As someone who likes both, they’re not the same - they’re better, as long as you like peanut butter.

Not just likely - actual survivors of Nestle’s child slavery operation came to the US for help, and the supreme court, including all 3 “liberal” justices, told them to get fucked and that it’s perfectly legal for US companies to use child slave labor as long as it happens outside the US
If any of ya’ll have some KitKat alternatives I’m listening. Currently enjoying Kinder Bueno but am ready for something else.

Does Nestlé see profits from the Ferrara distributed products (mainly Crunch bars)?

What about Canada? Is KitKat made by Nestle here?

Looks like it, unfortunately.
They also make Coffee Crisp, which is a shame, as I used to stock up on them whenever I visited.
No man, Coffee Crisp is my go to. I’m gonna have to find a new favourite :(
Those look a lot closer to nutty buddys, which I also love. I haven’t seen the nature valley kind but I’ll keep an eye out for it now.

Reese’s has a big enough lineup that maybe you can find something?
