I am a huge Kit Kat fan, but growing up I really didn’t like them! I thought they were too “airy” and much preferred a Milky Way. Now, they’ve become one of my go-to candies. I love how creative they’re getting with the flavors too. This lemon version was fantastic- vanilla with a light lemon taste. When they’re baked into these blondies they give it a sweet chewy texture. I left the base pretty standard so you can easily swap your favorite, or seasonal, Kit Kat flavor.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9″ pan with baking spray. Add parchment paper as well so that it’s easier to take it out of the pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer.
Add the vanilla and then the eggs one at a time and beat until incorporated.
Mix in the dry ingredients and beat until just combined.
Fold in the Kit Kats. The Kit Kats will wind up having a chewy texture rather than crunchy with a light lemon flavor. Press the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool completely and then refrigerate for at least an hour. *Putting brownies or blondies in the fridge will give them a chewier/fudgier texture.
Remove from the fridge and cut into bars. Eat right away or wait until they’re room temp.
