What the original account establishes
These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.
- The materials were a great deal of chocolate, a window box of the kind used for growing herbs, standard ice cream wafers, some butter to lubricate the box and a jar of peanut butter. Part of the chocolate was melted and poured in to form what would become the top of the bar. While it set, peanut butter was spread between wafers into sandwiches of wafer, wafer, peanut butter, wafer, wafer; these were laid on the set chocolate in the formation the account gives, then covered with more melted chocolate until no wafer showed, with a little held back for touch-ups. The fridge was too small, so the box was set in a bath of cold water; after a couple of hours the bar was freed from the window box and the KIT KAT logo scraped in with a stencil made by the writer’s girlfriend.

First of all I purchased all of the ingredients. A hell of a lot of chocolate, a window box (usually for growing you own herbs etc…), some standard ice cream wafers, some butter (for lubrication), a jar of peanutbutter.

I melted part of the chocolate and poured in to make the top of my kit-kat.
Whilst that was setting I spread the peanut butter between the wafers and made little peanut butter sandwiches which consisted of..
Wafer

Peanutbutter

I then placed these peanut butter sandwiches onto my set chocolate in the following formation..

..then covered with more melted chocolate until no more wafer could be seen. (don’t forget to hold back a bit of chocolate for touch-ups later)
Then due to the size of my fridge I filled the bath up with cold water and put the kit-kat in there to set.
After a couple of hours I got the kit-kat freed from the window box, and thanks to my girlfriends KIT KAT stencil that she created for me I scraped in the logo onto the top of it.
JOB DONE!!!
