- Five 1.5 ounce (or about 14 mini-sized) Kit Kat Candy Bars
- 8 ounces cream cheese, (at room temperature)
- 2 cups powdered sugar, (measure then sift)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract

- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated white sugar
- ½ teaspoon lemon extract

Steps

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

In a food processor, finely chop the Kit Kat Bars. Spread evenly in the bottom of an 8x8 inch square pan. Bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the cream cheese on high. Add the powdered sugar and egg and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the lemon juice, lemon extract and lemon zest, and mix well. Pour the filling evenly over the Kit Kat crust.

In a medium bowl, use a fork to combine the flour, sugar, lemon extract, and softened butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the lemon bar filling.
