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.

For real! Why does that happen once you’re wrist deep in chicken goop? I swear they do it on purpose.

I don’t know how you ever get dinner on the table with 3 kids. I’m having a hard enough time with one!! These bars look magical. Love that they’re so easy, and I bet they are like crack. I’d probably eat the whole pan!

Love the use of buttery and salty crackers and sweetened condensed milk (which I could drink straight from the can). These look De-Lish!
Maria says
What a fun bar treat!
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
These are so much fun!! Love this idea!
Jennifer @ Mother Thyme says
I give you so much credit! It always seems kids decide to start acting up right in the middle of making dinner. Seems to happen to me all the time too. These squares look delicious! I love that they only require 4 ingredients!

oh my goodness! I don’t know how you get dinner on the table either! You’re such a good mom though, you probably distracted both kids and then prepared an amazing meal
Tracey says
Ugh, I hate when I see a recipe I really want to try on Pinterest and it’s a dead end. Glad you solved the mystery on this one because they look amazing!! Oh, and I have no idea how you keep up with the blog and 3 small kids – I struggle with just the first one 🙂
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
Thank you for putting actual measurements! I hate it when I see “1 bag of chocolate chips” or “1 can of evaporated milk” etc. Because you know, not everybody on the internet is in the US. 😉 Anyway, these bars look great and I love how simple they are! And hopefully things will calm down with the kids soon. At least I hope they will. 🙂
Colleen @ What's Baking in the Barbershop?! says
Oh my, I love the look of these bars! I seem to always have toffee bits on hand (I think I have a problem), so I’d love to try these!
And I hear ya – it really bothers me when I see a food item pinned on pinterest that isn’t linked to an actual recipe!

I love this post! Just on Sunday I made some bars that are simple and use a can of sweet cond milk. I love yours and that they’re no bake. Over the summer I made a pink lemonade bar that used a Ritz cracker base and crumble topping and the filling was pink lemonade, cool whip and sweet cond milk (I better look up my own recipe) but love the salty/sweet Ritz combo. Thanks for the linky love, too!
