Having 3 kids 4 and under keeps life exciting. I love them all dearly, I really do, but sometimes it can be a challenge. The two older kids have decided that they constantly want to compete for attention. If Easton falls down and starts crying, Abbi will follow behind him and purposely fall down and start crying. So instead of one crying child, I always have 2. (Luckily Camden is an angel baby and just sits by and watches all of the drama go down!)
The other day, I went to make dinner. And of course, once I’m knee deep in chicken, that’s when it all breaks loose. The dog starts crying to go outside. Abbi is yelling for something from one side of the house, and Easton is crying because he wants his drink filled up. It’s nights like those that I wonder how I even get dinner on the table.
So when it comes to dessert, I’ve been going as simple as possible. And these bars here – only 4 ingredients. Talk about simple!
I actually ran across these while surfing on Pinterest one day. I saw a version of these, and clicked on it, only to find that it dead ended. I really don’t like it when that happens! I did some searching, and found similar recipes several places online, but they were all very vague.
One box of Ritz crackers. What is that supposed to mean? I don’t know about your grocery store, but there is more than one size of box of Ritz crackers at my grocery store.
Some recipes said to cook them for half an hour. Some for no more than 8 minutes. And some didn’t bake them at all. They were really turning into a mystery!
I really wanted to try these, and I know you all aren’t digging the vague ingredients either, so I decided to try these out – with actual measurements.
Lucky for me (and for you!), they were really pretty easy, and turned out fabulous the first time I tried them. My husband couldn’t get enough of them, claiming that they are his favorite thing that I’ve made in awhile. And they only take 4 ingredients. I can totally do these while all is going crazy around me!!

Skor Squares
Ingredients
- 1 (11.3 oz) box Ritz Crackers
- 1 (8 oz) bag toffee bits
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place all of the Ritz crackers in a food processor and process until they are fine crumbs. Pour them into a bowl.
- To the bowl of crackers, add 1 cup of the toffee bits and the can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir until combined. Press into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven.
- Immediately pour the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the bars. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to melt, then spread evenly over the top. (If they aren’t melting, stick the pan back into the oven for a minute or two.) Sprinkle on the remaining toffee bits. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

I’m curious,, have you frozen these?
Deborah says
I have never tried freezing them, but I think they should freeze just fine.
terrie hooper says
I buy my ritz bulk how many cups crumbs are made from one box?
Deborah says
Hi Terrie – I’m not sure how many cups of crumbs you’d get, but I would just weigh out 11.3 ounces of the crackers to crush.
April Dore says
This recipe is great. Made these type of bars before but never with the chocolate melted on top. It takes it to a new level. Everyone loved them.
Shainu says
Have you tried baking it in a baking pan (metal)?
Angie says
Easy dessert preparation and a really good skor square is all my kids like the most.
Shan says
How long does these last for In the fridge without going bad? Covered in 9×13 container??
mary says
How much are you reserving of the skor bits for the top (like your photos)? Do you put the just about the whole bag in the square mix?
Deborah says
You’ll end up using the whole 8 oz bag. 1 cup of the toffee bits go in the bars, and the remaining bits go on top.

Thanks so much for putting an end to my search! I also found this recipe on Pinterest and was disappointed to discover no directions. My internet search yielded lots of dead ends until I found you! P.S. – The search was worth it, these are so quick, easy & yummy!
Deborah says
Yay!! So glad I could help!
LL says
Do these need to be refrigerated as I would like to make a batch and send to my Mom in Tulsa… THX!
Deborah says
LL – I didn’t refrigerate them. I think they would probably travel just fine.
Mary says
Wonderful bars!!
Amy says
I just made these, but I like a thinner crust, so I put it in a 13 x 9 pan and doubled the chocolate chips. It is delicious! I couldn’t even wait for them to cool completely. Thanks for the recipe!
Mary says
Thank you for taking the time too figure this out! Some said bake, some not too, found one recipe that had condensed milk, oh what to do! But you figured it out for all of us!, one lady frosted hers with Cream Cheese Icing too.
Pat Eavenson says
I am making these for my grandchildren who I babysit 2 days a week (they are a 4 year old and 2 1/2 year old twins)…..they love treats….and to you and my daughter you are super stars….
Kathey says
I love this recipe so much! I know what you mean by having your hand full with 3 children. I have 2 autistic grandbabies & they are a handful sometimes, but the one thing that seems to calm them down is cooking, baking, or shopping for the ingredients used to make fantastic goodies. We’ve been trying to figure out many different recipes for this yummy edible & you have come up with the winning combination. Thank you for all of the other recipes on your blog, because now when ever my grandbabies come to Mama’s for the weekend there is always something we haven’t tried yet, but will before the weekend is out. Please keep doing what you do, so that I look like a rock star to my beautiful grandbabies.
