Kit Kats are made with milk chocolate, which is a lot less toxic than the baking chocolate which is the worst.
Milk Chocolate. Mild signs of toxicity can occur when 0.7 ounces per pound of body weight is ingested. Severe signs occur when 2 ounces per pound of body weight is ingested. This means that a little less than one pound of milk chocolate can be toxic to the nervous system of a 20-pound dog. A 10-pound cat would need to ingest 1/2 pound.
That's a lot of chocolate, and I'm assuming they didn't eat nearly that much. Just keep an eye on them, but, I'm sure they'll be fine.

I have read that chocolate (the baking kind) contains a chemical that can cause a heart attack in dogs. I had a jack russel / mini schnauzer mix that ate almost a whole bag of fudge stripe shortbread cookies once & it didn't hurt him.
They will probably be fine, but I would give the vet a call just to be sure.

I asume you mean a bag of kit kats and you should call the vet or emergency clinic NOW. Chocolate is toxic to dogs.

Takes more than one slab of kit kats to have any effect on a dog, only if your dog is a miniature doberman or something with little body mass.

Take them to the vet if they begin vomiting, and or diarrhea. Keep an eye on the puppy especially and never leave chocolate around again for them to get into. It can kill them.

they should be fine, just keep eye on them, keep the chocolate away from them, don't panic, and if they start to get sick(not talking about runs) then you may want to consult vet over phone to see if you should bring them in

I would keep them outside cause Chocolate is not good for dogs and it goes right through them.

keep a close eye on them and if you realy love your dogs, you'll take them to the vets as soon as you see any sign of pain/sickness.
