Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Kit Kat bars
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.
- Unwrap the Kit Kat bars and arrange them in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared pan, breaking them if necessary to create an even base.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the Kit Kat bar layer, creating a thin, consistent coating.
- Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the graham cracker crumbs, using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure complete coverage of the Kit Kat bars.
- Refrigerate the pan for approximately 1 hour, or until the chocolate layer has completely set and hardened.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the entire dessert out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 12 equal rectangular bars, following the Kit Kat bar pattern underneath.
- Serve chilled and store any remaining bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth melting and even mixing of chocolate and peanut butter.
- For a cleaner cut, use a sharp knife heated under hot water and wiped dry between each slice.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties - dark, milk, or semi-sweet - to customize the flavor profile.
- If you're avoiding peanut butter, try almond butter or sunflower seed butter as a substitute.
- For extra texture, consider sprinkling some sea salt or chopped nuts over the top before chilling.
- Ensure your refrigerator is at the right temperature (around 40°F) for optimal setting.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
