The classic chocolate bar is undergoing the plant-based treatment and the new snack will be launched in the UK this year.

It has yet to be confirmed what ingredients will be used to create the chocolate bar, although Nestle has said it is made from 100 per cent sustainable cocoa.

Nestle revealed that social media demand for a vegan take on the Kit Kat was large amongst chocolate fans.

Alexander von Maillot, Head of Confectionery at the company, said: "One of the most common requests we see on social media is for a vegan KitKat, so we’re delighted to be able to make that wish come true.

"I can’t wait for people to be able to try this amazingly tasty new KitKat. This is a product for everyone who wants a little more plant-based in their life!"
