Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 pieces Club crackers (or similar rectangular buttery crackers)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Packed light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 cups Crushed graham crackers
- 0.75 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
Instructions
1. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring the edges overhang for easy removal.
2. Arrange a single layer of Club crackers along the bottom of the baking dish, covering it completely.
3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth, then bring it to a gentle boil. Let it boil for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the crushed graham crackers until fully combined, creating a caramel-like mixture.
5. Spread half of the graham cracker mixture evenly over the layer of Club crackers in the baking dish. Smooth it out with a spatula.
6. Place another layer of Club crackers on top of the graham mixture, ensuring full coverage.
7. Spread the remaining graham cracker mixture evenly over the second layer of Club crackers.
8. Add a final layer of Club crackers on top as the third and final layer.
9. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, milk chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
10. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top layer of crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
11. Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping has set.
12. Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper or foil to lift the bars out of the dish. Cut into small rectangles to resemble Kit Kat bars.
13. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
