A healthier twist on a favorite candy! These homemade Kit Kat Bars are made with only 4 ingredients and they have the most insane crunch. Filled with a delicious peanut buttery flavor and covered with a dark chocolate shell.
Kit Kats always remind me of my younger brother. On Halloween every year, we’d always trade candy to give each other our favorites. TBH I love all candy so I wasn’t too particular. But Seth has a nut allergy so he always wanted to have the plain Hershey’s bars, Crunch Bars (gotta make those soon) and Kit Kats.
Today is the day – we are finally making homemade Kit Kats for us to enjoy. I love how easy this is to make and you only need 4 simple ingredients to make them. Can it get an easier? Probably not.
I love storing mine in the freezer for a crunchier snack of sorts. But you can keep them in either the fridge or freezer.
Kit Kat ingredients:
Here is an overview on the 4 ingredients you’l need to make this recipe. It is so simple and easy, I don’t know what took me so long to whip these up.
- Graham crackers – store bought or you can make my grain-free ones
- Creamy peanut butter – or any nut butter
- Honey – truly such a staple sugar option in my pantry
- Dark chocolate – I always use dark chocolate but you can use milk chocolate too
How to make healthy Kit Kat Bars:
- Slice each graham cracker in half (if using rectangle shape) then slice into 1 more half. Creating 4 smaller rectangles per graham cracker sleeve
- Repeat this for all the graham crackers
- Spread a layer of honey on 1 piece of graham cracker then add another piece on top and spread peanut butter and gently press down so the 3 pieces stick together
- Add to a lined baking sheet, tray or plate and repeat for remaining graham crackers
- Add to fridge to set for a few and begin melting chocolate in microwave or in saucepan
- Gently dip each kit kat into the chocolate to coat completely then add to tray
- Drizzle any extra chocolate on top then add to fridge to set for an hour or so and enjoy!

I made these today, and they weren’t what I’d call a Kit Kat bar, but it is a delicious chocolate covered cookie! Also, i wasn’t able to dip these in chocolate without them falling apart. I ended up pouring chocolate over the cookies and then spooned it on the remaining pieces, much easier than dipping. Fun for Halloween and the fall.
