I’ve gotta tell you about my latest obsession in the kitchen – these easy homemade Kit Kat Bars. I was feelin pretty nostalgic cookin up something that reminds me of those classic 1980s chocolate bars when I first cracked open a candy bar as a kid.

A harmless pinch of sea salt (if you’re into that extra twist) really brings everything together.

Ingredients

• 8 wafer sheets: They offer light carbs and a crisp, airy texture that gives it a fun crunch.
• 12 oz milk chocolate: Provides a sweet, sugary treat loaded with cocoa butter; its indulgent and rich.
• 2 tbsp coconut oil: Contains healthier fats and smooths the chocolate for an even, glossy coat.
• Pinch of sea salt: Balances the sweet flavors while adding a subtle savory kick to the mix.

Ingredient Quantities

• 8 wafer sheets (you can break them into layers if needed)
• 12 oz milk chocolate (chopped or chips, whichever you prefer)
• 2 tbsp coconut oil (this helps the chocolate coat smoothly)
• Pinch of sea salt (optional but adds a nice touch)

How to Make this

1. Start by lineing a baking tray with parchment paper and lay out the wafer sheets. If you think they need breaking up into layers, go ahead and do that.

2. Chop up the milk chocolate if you haven’t already, or use chocolate chips – either is fine.

3. Put the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl.

4. Microwave the bowl in 30 second bouts, stirring in between until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

5. If you’re using sea salt, add a pinch into the melted chocolate and stir it in.

6. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the wafer sheets on your tray.

7. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread the chocolate so all the wafers are coated.

8. Pop the tray into the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.

9. Once the treat is firm, take it out of the fridge and break it into bar-sized pieces.

10. Enjoy your homemade Kit Kat bars and share them with friends if you want!

FAQ

Easy Homemade Kit Kat Bars Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• For the wafer sheets, you could try using thin graham crackers or even crisp biscuit layers if you cant get the real deal.
• If you dont have milk chocolate, dark chocolate or even semi-sweet chocolate chips can work, but your bars might taste a bit different.
• If you dont have coconut oil, you can use butter or a mild vegetable shortening; just melt it well before mixing in.
• If sea salt isnt available, you could use Himalayan salt or kosher salt in a pinch, just be careful not to overdo it.

Pro Tips

1. When melting the chocolate, do it in short bursts of 30 seconds and stir every time. This helps the chocolate melt evenly without burning which proves super important.

2. If you decide to break up the wafer sheets into layers, do it before you pour in the melted chocolate. This way, you get extra crunch and a more even coating without accidentally breaking them up later.

3. Use the coconut oil carefully. Even though it helps the chocolate coat the wafers smoother, make sure you measure right so it doesnt make the chocolate too runny.

4. After taking it out of the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before you break it into pieces. This helps prevent the chocolate from cracking too harshly, which means your bars will come out nicer to eat.
