If you don't already know what the KitKat chocolatory is, its a DIY KitKat restaurant/shop where you're able to explore your creative side and make your very own custom KitKat. If its anything like the pop-up shop that blessed the streets of Toronto, then you can expect three different chocolate choices (white, dark and milk chocolate) and over 16 different topping ingredients like sprinkles and rose petals. After their wildly successful "Chocolatory" pop-up in Toronto last summer, KitKat Canada just announced they'll be opening a permanent store in Yorkdale Shopping Centre this fall. Last year's pop-up allowed customers to make their own chocolate bar from three different kinds of chocolate and up to three of 16 additional flavours. They could also put their name on it. The pop-up did so well that KitKat is opening the Canadian flagship store here in Toronto, and people are pretty excited. So excited that they're hoping for other locations across Toronto. https://www.madewithnestle.ca/kit-kat https://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2019/07/kitkat-make-your-own-chocolate-toronto/ The Toronto Christmas Market is open Thursday November 14th to Sunday December 22nd, 2019.
