Kit-Kat Bars

Recipe From: my mom, who got it from a friend

Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter
1/2 c white sugar
1 c packed brown sugar
1/2 c milk
1 packet finely crushed graham crackers (about 2 cups)
Club style crackers

1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c butterscotch chips
2/3 c peanut butter

Directions:
  1. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.
  2. Line bottom with single layer of crackers.
  3. Combine butter, sugars, graham cracker crumbs, and milk in a saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly and watching carefully.
  4. Spread half of the sauce over the crackers.
  5. Place another layer of crackers over the sauce.
  6. Spread the rest of the sauce over that layer of crackers.
  7. Arrange a third layer of crackers on top. Set aside.
  8. In a saucepan combine both kinds of chips and peanut butter over low heat. Stirring constantly until smooth.
  9. Spread melted peanut butter mixture over the top layer of crackers, covering completely.
  10. Refrigerate until sauce is hardened. Cut carefully in to bars with a sharp knife.

Rating: Delizioso! Probably my new favorite sweet, but not for everyday eating. :)

Notes:
  • I layed the middle layer of crackers opposite direction from the other two layers, so cutting wouldn't just be on the cracker lines.
  • Could make this healthier if you used reduced fat crackers.

Rating: Yummy!
Warming Up: warms up well, may want to cut the bundle in half first though
Notes:
(Ok, I didn't actually make this one, but I picked the recipe. My mom and her husband made the bundles and they were delicious!)
  • We used fresh broccoli instead of spinach. This recipe lends itself to a lot of variations.
  • You could make it healthier with using more veggies, less cheese mixture. Or, as they point out on the recipe, use reduced fat cheeses and crackers.
