👩‍🍳 HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE KIT KAT BARS

Step 1: Prepare Your Base Layer

Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Layer Club crackers evenly across the bottom of the pan. This creates that signature “Kit Kat crunch” texture.

Set aside.

---

Step 2: Make the Buttery Graham Layer

In a saucepan over medium heat:

• Melt 1 cup butter

• Add 1 cup brown sugar

• Stir until smooth and bubbling

Remove from heat and stir in:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/3 cup sugar

Mix until well combined.

Spread this mixture evenly over the crackers.

Let it cool slightly.

---

Step 3: Peanut Butter Layer

Spread 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter evenly over the graham layer.

(Pro tip: Warm peanut butter slightly so it spreads like a dream.)

---

Step 4: Chocolate Butterscotch Topping

Melt:

• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

• 3/4 cup butterscotch chips

Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round.

Once smooth, pour over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.

---

Step 5: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.

Slice into bars.

Try not to eat half the pan before serving.

💡 COOKING TIPS FOR PERFECT KIT KAT BARS

1. Don’t Overheat the Chocolate

Chocolate seizes when overheated. Stir gently and patiently.

2. Use Parchment Paper

Makes removal effortless.

3. Let Layers Cool Slightly

Adding peanut butter to piping hot filling can cause sliding.

4. Chill Completely Before Cutting

Use a sharp knife and wipe between slices for clean edges.
