This Healthy Kit Kat Recipe offers a nutritious twist on the classic chocolate-covered wafer treat by using almond flour, coconut sugar, and natural peanut butter. These homemade bars feature crunchy cookie layers with a rich peanut butter fudge filling, all coated in smooth dark chocolate for a deliciously guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

  • 1 1/4 cup blanched almond flour (or tigernut flour) (115g)
  • 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Fudge Filling

  • 2 Tbsp dark chocolate
  • 3 Tbsp peanut butter (or Sunbutter)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate (5oz)
  • 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie layers.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut sugar, ground flaxseed, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract. First, mix with a spatula until combined, then knead the dough gently with your hands until smooth and uniform.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to flatten it to about 1/8 inch thickness, ensuring an even surface for baking.
  5. Cut Cookie Rectangles: Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into rectangles approximately 3.5 inches by 0.75 inches. Set aside any excess dough for re-rolling and making additional cookies.
  6. Bake Cookies: Transfer the parchment paper with cookie dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cookies are set but not overly browned.
  7. Separate and Cool: When removed from the oven, carefully cut the cookies apart again using a knife or pizza cutter and allow them to cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Fudge Filling: Melt the 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate gently and stir in the peanut butter until fully blended into a thick, frosting-like consistency. Let cool about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  9. Assemble Kit Kats: Each bar consists of 3 cookie rectangles layered with two layers of the fudge filling. Spread fudge evenly between cookies to build the sandwich bars. Place assembled bars on a lined baking sheet and freeze to set.
  10. Make Chocolate Coating: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the 1 cup dark chocolate with 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  11. Dip Bars in Chocolate: Remove the bars from the freezer one at a time and dip them fully into the melted chocolate to coat completely.
  12. Set Coated Kit Kats: Return dipped bars to the lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to harden by placing them in the freezer.
  13. Finish with Drizzle: Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the coated bars for an elegant finish. Let set before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute tigernut flour for almond flour for a nut-free version.
  • Ground flaxseed adds fiber and helps bind the dough.
  • Freezing the assembled bars before coating helps maintain shape during dipping.
  • Use dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao for a healthier, less sweet coating.
  • If peanut allergies are a concern, use sunflower seed butter (Sunbutter) instead of peanut butter.
