The recipe is gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and uses wholesome ingredients to create a delicious, satisfying snack that can be assembled at home with simple baking and chilling steps.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 1 ¼ cup blanched almond flour (or tigernut flour) (115g)
  • 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
  • ⅛ 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)
  • ½ Tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut sugar, ground flaxseed, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula first to bring the dough together, then knead it thoroughly with your hands until fully combined.
  3. Roll and Cut Cookies: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll it out to about ⅛ inch thickness. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into rectangles roughly 3.5 inches by 0.75 inches. Reserve excess dough to re-roll and make additional cookies.
  4. Bake Cookies: Transfer the dough on the parchment sheet to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Once baked, separate the cookie pieces using a knife or cutter while still warm. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Make the Fudge Filling: Melt the 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate gently. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth and combined. Let the fudge cool for about 10 minutes until it thickens to a spreadable consistency, similar to frosting.
  6. Assemble Kit Kat Layers: Spread the fudge filling evenly between every three cookie rectangles, making two layers of fudge in total. Stack three cookies per Kit Kat bar. Place the assembled bars on a lined baking sheet and freeze until set.
  7. Prepare Chocolate Coating: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the 1 cup of dark chocolate with ½ tablespoon of coconut oil, stirring frequently to achieve a smooth glaze.
  8. Coat the Kit Kats: Remove the assembled cookie bars from the freezer. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Place them back onto the lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to set.
  9. Finish and Serve: Use any remaining melted chocolate to drizzle over the coated Kit Kats for decoration. Let the chocolate coating fully harden before serving.

Notes

  • Use a spatula and then your hands to ensure the cookie dough is well kneaded without over-mixing.
  • Chill any excess dough before re-rolling to prevent sticking.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with Sunbutter.
  • Ensure the fudge filling is cool enough to spread thickly but not too hard to avoid breaking the cookies.
  • Freeze assembled bars before dipping to keep layers firm and prevent melting when coating with chocolate.
  • Store finished Kit Kats in the refrigerator to maintain the chocolate coating and freshness.
