Instructions

1. Prepare the Chocolate Base:
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- Whisk the mixture over medium heat until well-blended and sugar is dissolved, approximately PT5M (5 minutes).

2. Melt the Chocolate:
- Lower the heat to medium-low. Add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the saucepan.
- Stir continuously with a heat-resistant spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and silky, approximately PT3M (3 minutes).

3. Mix in Milk and Flavoring:

- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and heated through, approximately PT2M (2 minutes).

4. Create the Crunch:
- Roughly chop 3 Kit Kat candy bars and 12 vanilla wafer cookies.
- Set aside for later assembly.

5. Assembly:
- Remove the chocolate cream from the heat and let cool slightly, PT5M (5 minutes).
- Layer serving cups with a generous spoonful of chocolate cream, a sprinkle of Kit Kat candy pieces, and crushed vanilla wafers.
- Repeat layering until cups are filled.

6. Serve:
- Serve warm for a gooey experience or chill in the refrigerator for at least PT15M (15 minutes) if preferring a firmer texture.
