As fun as it is to incorporate candy bars into baked goods, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best way to use Kit Kats is to eat them straight. Some candy bars are great cut into chunks or baked into cookies, but if you think about it, a Kit Kat is a marvel of candy bar engineering and its texture is just as important as its flavor. Grinding, chopping, melting a Kit Kat is just an affront to the candy, so I apologize to all the Kit Kats I’ve insulted this week.
Of all the Kit Kat experiments tested, this one was the best.
I got the recipe from Recipegirl who credited Candy Bar Cookbook

November 6, 2008 at 7:51 amI felt it was a tad too lemony. I kind of wish I had just stuck to lemon juice and zest, or only included the extract in either the filling or the topping, but not both. I feel like it would have been better that way. Maybe I don’t like lemon extract.

November 4, 2008 at 8:23 pmOh, I’m glad you tried these! That Candy Bar Cookbook (found in an old used bookstore) has the most interesting recipes in it.
You are too nice 🙂

November 4, 2008 at 2:14 pmI could eat that crust by itself. Kit Kat is one of my favourite candies!
