Make Homemade Kit Kat Bars
If you like the Kit Kat bars that you get from the store, you’ll really love these!
- Yields: About 36-48 Kit-Kat bars.
Contents
Ingredients
- 60 buttery crackers (or use some wafers if you want)
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly-packed
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cup graham crackers, crushed
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
Steps
- Mix the butter, sugar and milk together in the saucepan. Bring to the boil.
- Add the crushed graham crackers to the saucepan. Mix to combine.
- Continue to boil for an additional 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the mixture to prevent boiling over or burning. Then remove from the heat.
- Take out some of the buttery crackers. Arrange them across the base of the baking pan. Pour about half of the boiled mixture over these crackers.
- The baking pan should be non-stick and it is even better if it's lined with parchment paper.
- Add a few more (about 20) butter crackers on top of the first layer, and press down lightly.
- Pour the remainder of the mixture over these crackers.
- Melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter into another dish.
- Microwave this mixture on high for 30 seconds (or until the chips are mostly melted).
- Pour this second mixture over the butter cracker mixture, until the crackers and boiled mixture are completely covered.
- Let the Kit-Kat bars cool. Then refrigerate them until they are firm. Cut or snap into finger length slices as needed.
- Finish making the homemade Kit-Kat bar.
Tips
- If giving as a gift, wrap in foil, then add a paper wrapper around it, in the old-fashioned wrapping style once used for commercial Kit Kat bars. It's effective and pretty.
