Kit-Kat Bars

This was a huge hit at the family July 4th party, with every piece devoured before the evening was over. So yummy, and so easy! Also, I used natural peanut butter, as it was what I had in my pantry, and it still came out perfectly.

Kit-Kat Bars

1 cup Butter
½ cup milk
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (16 oz.) box Club crackers*
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
⅔ cups peanut butter

Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add milk, brown sugar, and white sugar. Bring that to a boil and add graham cracker crumbs. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5-6 minutes. Place a layer of Club crackers on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Pour half of the graham cracker mixture over that. Add another layer of crackers, then the other half of the graham cracker mix, followed by a third layer of crackers. Melt chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Use to frost the bars by spreading it evenly over the top layer. Chill in the fridge to help it cool and set. Once chilled completely, cut into small squares and enjoy.
* one (16 oz.) box of Club crackers has 3 sleeves of crackers in it, and for this recipe you will end up using about 2 1/2 of them.
