About Mini kitkat
Mini KitKat, a popular chocolate-based confection, originates from the United Kingdom and is widely enjoyed globally. First introduced by Rowntree's in 1935 and now manufactured by Nestlé (except in the USA, where it is made by Hershey), this candy features alternating layers of crispy wafers and creamy milk chocolate. Each Mini KitKat serving (about one piece or 10g) contains approximately 52 calories, 2.7g of fat, 6.3g of carbohydrates (with 5.3g as sugars), and 0.8g of protein. While not a nutrient-dense snack, it is a convenient treat consumed for its taste rather than its nutrient profile.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content (6.3g per piece).
- Contains small amounts of calcium from the milk chocolate coating, important for bone health (approximately 4mg per piece).
- Offers psychological benefits from cocoa, which contains flavonoids known to support mood and cognitive health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat to prevent chocolate from melting or blooming.
