No Bake Kit Kat Bars (Copy Kat recipe)

Brooke made these yummy candy/cookies for our Sunday dinner and they were a big hit.  Cut in smaller pieces because these babies are rich and delish! Brooke then cut up Kit Kats on top of the bars.  Soooo good!  The recipe that Brooke used from Pinterest was Brandie/The Country Cook-

 


No Bake Kit Kat Bars (Copy Kat recipe)

 

72 club crackers (or soda crackers)

1 cup butter (2 sticks)

1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed

1/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup milk

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

HOW TO MAKE THESE LAYERED CRACKER BARS:

Line an un-greased 9×13 baking dish with a layer of club crackers.

 

In a large saucepan, over low to medium heat, melt butter and both sugars. Then add graham cracker crumbs and milk. Allow mixture to all gently melt and stir constantly until it is all combined well.

 

Remove from heat and spread half the butter mixture evenly over crackers.

Do your best to spread it out evenly. Top with another layer of crackers. Then spread the other half of the butter mixture on top. Then a final layer of crackers on top of that.

In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter and chocolate chips. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until completely melted and blended.

 

Spread evenly over top layer of crackers.

 

Cover with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for an hour or two. You want that top chocolate layer to really cool down and firm up.

Once it is completely cooled, slice into small squares. You should be able to get about 2 1/2 dozen from this pan.

 

Tips:

·      You can use regular saltine crackers for this recipe but I think the club crackers hold up a little better.

·      Dark, milk or even white chocolate can be used instead of the semi-sweet chocolate.

Give these plenty of time to cool before slicing or they won’t slice up well for you.
