Kit Kat Bars


When RSVPing for a summer cook out, I asked what I could bring. The hostess quickly said, "Kit Kat Bars!" It's been awhile since I've made them, but they are pretty darn good. I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. She always doubles the frosting. I have always done that as well, except for this time. It turned out fine. It's up to you on how much chocolate you would like on top of your Kit Kat bars

Ingredients
1/2 box of Club crackers
1 c. margarine
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. milk
1/2 c. sugar
2 c. graham cracker crumbs

Frosting
1/2 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. butterscotch chips
1/2 c. peanut butter

  1. Put a single layer of Club crackers on bottom of 9 X 13 pan. Set aside.
  2. Mix margarine, brown sugar, milk, sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in medium sauce pan.  Bringing to boil, stir lots, boil 5 min. (No longer)
  3. Pour half of mixture over crackers.
  4. Place another layer of crackers on top of hot mixture, making sure to lay them in the same direction as the previous layer.
  5. Top with the rest of hot mixture.
  6. Place a third layer of Club crackers, again making sure to lay the crackers in the same direction.
  7.  Melt  chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter in small sauce pan over low heat until completely melted.
  8. Spread frosting on top of bars.
  9. Allow bars to cool on counter for awhile and then cut into bars, then chill.  You'll probably have to re-cut the bars when serving, but it is a lot easier if you have already run your knife through them.
