Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 1/4 cup blanched almond flour (or tigernut flour) (115g)
  • 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 Tbsp ground flax
  • 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: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, ground flax, and salt to form the dry base of the cookie dough.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients and Knead Dough: Stir in the melted coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Then, use your hands to knead the dough until fully combined.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin until about 1/8 inch thick.
  5. Cut Cookies: Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into rectangles approximately 3.5 inches by 0.75 inches. Remove any excess dough for re-rolling to make additional cookies.
  6. Bake Cookies: Transfer the parchment with the cut dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees F until set.
  7. Cool Cookies: Remove from oven and carefully separate the cookies using a knife or cutter. Let bakeware cool for 5-10 minutes, then move cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Fudge Filling: Melt 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate gently, then stir in the peanut butter until smooth. Let the fudge mixture cool for about 10 minutes until it thickens to a frosting-like texture.
  9. Assemble Layers: Each Kit Kat bar consists of three cookies and two layers of fudge. Spread a layer of fudge between each cookie and stack them. Place the assembled bars on a lined baking sheet and freeze to set.
  10. Melt Chocolate Coating: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the cup of dark chocolate and 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil together, stirring frequently to combine.
  11. Dip Bars in Chocolate: Remove bars from freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  12. Set Chocolate Coating: Place coated bars back on the lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set.
  13. Decorate: Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the bars for an attractive finish.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper when rolling and cutting to prevent sticking.
  • Re-roll the leftover dough and bake more cookies to avoid waste.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with tigernut flour and peanut butter with Sunbutter.
  • Ensure fudge mixture is thick enough before assembling to prevent slipping layers.
  • Keep assembled bars in the freezer until chocolate coating is set to maintain shape.
  • Store finished bars in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
