Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar! A giant among chocolate bars, Kit Kat is one of those sweet treats that needs no introduction. Kit Kat bars are fairly simple – it’s just a few layers of crispy wafer covered in melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. But that simplicity belies the fact that this candy bar is one of the best things since sliced bread! To offer tribute to the Kit Kat gods, we decided to create a giant version of the beloved chocolate bar that contains 10 fluffy Belgian waffles enveloped by a decadent, smooth chocolate cream and encased in perfectly snappy tempered chocolate. Say hello to an iconic new version of an iconic snack!
Giant Kit Kat Bar with Waffles
Equipment
- Square waffle machine
- Loaf pan (12 x 5-inch)
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 4 cups flour
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk
- 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 bag milk chocolate chips
- 32 oz cream cheese
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Beat the butter and sugar until frothy, then gradually add in the eggs. Add the flour, milk, water, and baking powder and beat everything with a hand mixer. Prepare the waffles in a square waffle machine, using 1 ladleful of batter for each waffle. Cook each waffle for about 5 minutes and prepare 10 waffles. Let the waffles cool afterwards.
- Heat about 85% of the chocolate to about 110°F in the microwave and then add the remaining 15%. Let the chocolate cool to about 80°F, stirring constantly. Use a blow dryer to heat it back up to 90°F and pour it into the loaf pan, making sure it's evenly distributed throughout the pan. Pour out the excess chocolate, turn the loaf pan upside down onto a cooling rack, and let the chocolate drip off for 3 minutes. Then turn the loaf pan back over and use a spatula to straighten the edges. Repeat the whole process again so that the chocolate has the right stability and thickness.
- Add the cream cheese and chocolate to a bowl and let both melt over a hot water bath. Mix until well combined and smooth, remove the chocolate cream from the heat, and stir in the cocoa powder until the cream is smooth and shiny. Let the chocolate cream cool afterwards.
- As soon as the chocolate mold in the loaf pan has set, you can start assembling the giant Kit Kat bar. Add about 3 tablespoons of chocolate cream to the pan and spread it evenly over the bottom before placing 2 waffles on top. Repeat the process with the rest of the waffles and chocolate cream until you have about 5 layers. Use the tempered chocolate to create the Kit Kat bar base, pour it over the last layer of chocolate cream, and let the chocolate set.
