Homemade Kit Kat Bars

Tonight was our annual ward party at the Rec Center, and I made homemade kit kat bars as my contribution. Honestly, I was a little skeptical (because they have club crackers in them!), but they are pretty good. Lots of people wanted my recipe, so here it is in case you're interested.

No. Mine weren't this pretty. Picture is from Serious Eats!
