How to Make Copycat Kit Kat Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out easily.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, milk, and granulated sugar.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Spread one-third of the butter mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  6. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers over the butter mixture, trimming crackers as needed to fit.
  7. Spread another one-third of the butter mixture evenly over the cracker layer.
  8. Top with another layer of graham crackers.
  9. Spread the remaining butter mixture evenly over the top cracker layer.
  10. In a separate medium saucepan, combine peanut butter, semi-sweet chocolate morsels, and butterscotch morsels.
  11. Melt over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and melted.
  12. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the top layer of crackers.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate topping is set completely.
  14. Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into bars.
  15. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
