Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 1/4 cup blanched almond flour (or tigernut flour) (115g)
  • 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 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 (5 oz)
  • 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, ground flaxseed, and salt thoroughly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in melted coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract. Initially use a spatula to combine, then knead the dough gently by hand until cohesive.
  4. Roll the Dough: Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  5. Cut Cookie Rectangles: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into rectangles approximately 3.5 inches by 0.75 inches. Remove excess dough for re-rolling.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Transfer the parchment with cut dough onto a baking sheet, bake for 8-10 minutes at 350°F until set.
  7. Cool Cookies: Remove from oven, carefully separate cookies if stuck, and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare Fudge Filling: Melt the 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate and mix in the peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
  9. Cool Fudge: Let the fudge mixture cool for about 10 minutes until thick enough to spread like frosting.
  10. Assemble Kit Kats: Spread fudge on three cookies to make two layers, stacking them to create one Kit Kat bar. Place assembled bars on a lined baking sheet and freeze until firm.
  11. Melt Coating Chocolate: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup dark chocolate with 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil, stirring frequently until smooth.
  12. Coat the Bars: Remove Kit Kats from freezer and dip each bar into the melted chocolate, coating thoroughly.
  13. Set Coating: Place coated Kit Kats on a lined baking sheet to set the chocolate coating.
  14. Finish Decoration: Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the coated bars for a decorative finish. Allow chocolate to fully harden before serving.

Notes

  • Almond flour can be substituted with tigernut flour for a nut-free option.
  • Ground flaxseed acts as a binder, but can be replaced with chia seed if preferred.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for best flavor and health benefits.
  • Peanut butter can be swapped with Sunbutter (sunflower seed butter) for a nut-free alternative.
  • Store assembled Kit Kats in the freezer to maintain firmness and freshness.
  • Be careful not to overbake cookies; they should be slightly soft when removed from the oven.
