Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter and line a 9 x 13 inch tray with baking paper.

Roughly chop the Kit Kats into 1/2 inch chunks and set aside.

Cube the butter and put it in a small saucepan. Melt over a low heat. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring well to melt it. If the chips don’t melt completely, return to the heat for another 10 seconds or so. Set aside.

Using an electric mixer, whisk the eggs, sugar, salt, coffee and vanilla on a high speed until it reaches the ribbon stage – until it is thick, pale, and falls from the beaters in a ribbon that folds onto itself and slowly dissolves on the surface.

Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until incorporated. Quickly but gently fold in the flour, until just combined.

Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread out with a spatula. Scatter the chopped Kit Kat bars over the top. Pour the remaining batter over the chocolate chunks. Smooth out the top with a spatula.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until the top is lightly cracked and soft to the touch.

Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
