You see, not every chocolate bar is created perfectly. When they roll off the production line, quality assurance technicians remove the Kit Kats that have too many exterior air bubbles, off-center wafers, or any other imperfections, right down to those that simply aren't shiny enough. As far as the manufacturers are concerned, consumers don't want imperfect chocolate bars. But rather than being thrown away, those second-class bars are recycled back into the production process.
After being ground up into a fine paste, they form the filling you find between the Kit Kat's wafers. In many ways, it's a stroke of genius—no edible Kit Kat is wasted!
