Description
Easy no-bake homemade Kit Kat–style bars made with layers of crisp crackers, a sweet buttery filling, and a smooth chocolate peanut butter topping for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing treat.
Ingredients
72 club crackers
1 cup salted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with a single layer of club crackers.
- In a large saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
- Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and milk, mixing well and heating through without boiling.
- Remove from heat and spread half of the mixture evenly over the crackers.
- Add another layer of club crackers on top.
- Spread the remaining filling mixture evenly over the crackers.
- Top with a final layer of club crackers.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the peanut butter and chocolate chips together, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Pour and spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the top cracker layer.
- Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
- Slice into 24 bars and serve.
Notes
Do not boil the filling mixture to avoid grainy texture.
Dark chocolate chips can be used for a richer flavor.
Sunflower seed butter works well for a nut-free option.
Sprinkle flaky salt on top before chilling for added contrast.
Bars are easiest to cut when fully chilled.
