Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 255 g box of Ritz crackers (approximately 4 cups crushed)
- 270 g bag of Skor bits (toffee bits), reserve 2 tablespoons for topping
- 300 ml can of sweetened condensed milk
Topping
- 450 g container of French vanilla icing
Instructions
- Prepare the Cracker Mixture: Crush the Ritz crackers into fine pieces and place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the crushed crackers.
- Add Toffee Bits: Mix the bag of Skor toffee bits into the cracker and condensed milk mixture, reserving 2 tablespoons to sprinkle on top later.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into an 8×8 inch or 7×11 inch baking pan. Press the mixture down evenly to create a compact layer.
- Bake the Base: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges begin to bubble and caramelize, indicating the base is set and golden.
- Cool Completely: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the base to cool completely at room temperature. This is crucial for the icing to properly adhere and set.
- Ice and Garnish: Once cooled, spread the entire container of French vanilla icing over the base evenly. Sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of Skor bits on top for added texture and crunch.
- Cut into Bars: Slice into squares and serve as delightful sweet bars perfect for sharing at parties or as a homemade treat.
Notes
- Be sure to cool the base completely before icing to prevent the frosting from melting or sliding off.
- You can substitute Skor bits with any other toffee bits or crushed caramel candies.
- For easier serving, line the pan with parchment paper before pressing the mixture in.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
