The honest verdict

Is Kit Kat Actually Healthy?

A four-finger Kit Kat is 210 calories and 22g of sugar wrapped around a wafer whose main job is texture. It's lighter-feeling than a dense candy bar, which mostly makes it easier to eat two. The snap-and-crunch craving is very swappable; the sugar is the only thing that isn't doing you favors.
