Notes

Recipe tips.

When making these for a party, double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13-inch pan.
Lining the baking pan with parchment paper will make it easier to remove and cut even slices.
To make crumbs, you will need about 12-16 full graham cracker sheets; pulse them in a food processor. You can also use vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies.
Use sweetened condensed milk and allow time for the bars to set before cutting.
Sprinkle on extra toppings like mini M&Ms, toffee bits, or crushed pretzels.

Make ahead. Bake the bars 1-2 days in advance. Cover and store on the counter or in the fridge. To reheat, preheat the oven to 300-325°F and heat for 5-10 minutes.

Store the bars in an airtight container for 3-5 days, in the refrigerator for up to a week, or wrap each bar with plastic wrap and place them in a freezer Ziploc for about 3 months.
