Now to promote this alliance Nestle plans to sell more than 50 million chocolate bars featuring Android mascot to shops in 19 markets which includes UK, US, Brazil, India, Japan and Russia.

For promotion and to make the treat even sweeter, KitKat is giving a chance to win a Nexus 7 or Google Play credit, just look for this specially branded KitKat candy bars featuring the Android robot in a store near you.
