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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F to prepare for baking the cookie layers.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, coconut sugar, ground flax, and salt to form the dry base of the cookie dough.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in melted coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula initially then knead gently with hands until dough comes together.
  4. Roll out dough: Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out evenly to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  5. Cut cookies: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into rectangles approximately 3.5 inches by 0.75 inches. Remove excess dough and save for re-rolling.
  6. Bake cookies: Transfer the parchment paper with cookie rectangles onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set but not browned.
  7. Cool cookies: Carefully separate cookies on the warm baking sheet and let cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare fudge filling: Melt the 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate gently, then stir in peanut butter until smooth and well combined. Allow the fudge to cool for about 10 minutes until thickened to a frosting-like consistency.
  9. Assemble kit kats: Layer three cookies with two generous layers of fudge filling between them. Place assembled bars on a lined baking sheet and freeze until set.
  10. Melt chocolate coating: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of dark chocolate with 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil, stirring frequently to ensure smoothness.
  11. Dip bars: Remove the frozen assembled bars one at a time and dip into the melted chocolate coating, fully covering each bar.
  12. Set coating: Place coated bars back on lined baking sheet to let chocolate harden.
  13. Optional drizzle: Use any remaining melted chocolate to drizzle over the bars for decoration and added chocolaty texture.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy handling and to prevent sticking when rolling and baking dough.
  • Re-roll leftover dough scraps to minimize waste and create more cookies.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of coconut sugar or peanut butter based on personal preference.
  • Store finished bars in freezer or refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
  • For a nut-free option, use tigernut flour and sunflower seed butter.
