Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup wafer cookies (halal-certified) Crushed for the base.
  • 1 cup Rice Krispies (halal-certified) Adds crunch to the bars.
Peanut Butter Layer
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (halal-certified) Can substitute with almond or sunflower seed butter.
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (halal-certified) To soften the peanut butter.
Chocolate Layer
  • 2 cups chocolate chips For melting and topping the bars.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (halal-certified) Enhances the chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed wafer cookies and Rice Krispies. Stir gently to ensure it’s mixed well.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter and heavy cream. Microwave for about 20 seconds to soften them, then mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the wafer and Rice Krispies combination. Mix until everything is well-coated.
Chocolating
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  2. In a baking dish lined with parchment paper, spread half of the melted chocolate to form the base layer. Then, add the wafer and Rice Krispies mixture on top, spreading it evenly.
  3. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the top, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Setting and Serving
  1. Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours or until firm.
  2. Once set, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy your Homemade Kit Kat Bars!

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw at room temperature before serving.
