Homemade Kit Kat bars are the layered pan bar that disappears at every potluck. Buttery crackers are layered with a quick graham cracker caramel, and the top is a smooth mix of chocolate, butterscotch and peanut butter. They have the crunch of a Kit Kat in every bite and take about 20 minutes plus chilling.
