A massive 12-ton shipment of Nestle’s crunch KitKat bars was stolen in a chocolaty heist that risks causing a shortage in stores right before Easter. KitKat, owned by Swiss food giant Nestle, told AFP on Saturday that “a truck transporting 413,793 units of its new chocolate range has been stolen during transit in Europe.” The shipment disappeared last week while heading between production and distribution locations, the company said. “We’ve always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat,” a spokesperson told AFP, referring to its famous catchphrase. “But it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tons of our chocolate.”

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip.
