Homemade Kit Kat Bar Recipe
60 buttery crackers (such as Keebler Club Crackers)
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups graham crackers (crushed)
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish. Line with a layer of about 20 crackers until the bottom of the dish is fully covered.
In a small saucepan, bring butter, sugars, and milk together to a boil over medium heat. Stir in crushed graham crackers. Let boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour half of the sugar mixture over the crackers, smoothing over crackers with a spatula. Cover with another layer of 20 crackers, pressing down lightly. Pour remaining syrup mixture over crackers, smoothing to coat.
Top with the remaining crackers, pressing lightly.
Place chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe dish. Heat on high for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until chips are melted. (Alternatively, you can melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in a saucepan over low heat.)
Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture evenly over the top layer of crackers, using a spatula to smooth out bubbles and make sure the crackers are completely covered.
Refrigerate until the Kit Kat bars are firm.
Cut into thin bars to serve.
