    These 4 ingredient toffee bars take only 10 minutes to make and they are so addictive! All it takes is combining 4 simple ingredients and baking them for the best ever gooey bars that are sweet and salty!

    What makes these bars magical?

    These 4 ingredient toffee bars are a childhood favorite of mine. I remember my mom making them for us every weekend for SO long. We were obsessed. And then I forgot about them completely and have just re-discovered them. Isn't that the nicest feeling?

    I had a dinner party I was preparing for and couldn't be bothered thinking about desserts since my mains menu was elaborate! So I called up my mom and got her to remember every detail. It wasn't too hard considering the 4 ingredients involved. But that's why I love these - almost no effort & they're definitely a crowd pleaser. If you love sweet and salty desserts, these are for you.

    Chewy gooey toffee bar goodness comes together using only Ritz Crackers, Skor bits, and condensed milk. Doesn't get easier than that! The chocolate on top is optional but highly recommended.

    Oh and if you're also a huge fan of easy, minimal ingredient desserts, make sure you try Lazy Cake (it's all in the name) as well as these delicious Biscuit Balls!

    Tips for making the best Skor Ritz bars!

    This recipe is SO easy, but there are two tips to keep in mind:

    • The first of which is to make sure you break up your Ritz crackers well so that you don't end up with big pieces. The smaller the pieces that more it'll hold together.
    • The other important tip is to make sure you take it out of the oven, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes, cut it into squares, then let it cool completely. If you wait longer than 10 minutes, it'll be too hard to cut since the toffee will solidify. If you wait less than 10 minutes, it'll be too soft and you won't get nicely shaped squares.

    Watch me make these bars!

    Total Time: 30 minutes
    Servings: 16 Pieces
    Calories: 311kcal
    Author: Amina Al-Saigh

    Ingredients

    • 300 mL Sweetened condensed milk equal to 1 can
    • 300 g Skor toffee bits equal to 1.5 packages of the Chipits brand
    • 400 g Original Ritz crackers equal to 2x 200g box
    • 150 g Milk chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Start by crushing the Ritz crackers into a bowl using your hands. Crush well to ensure pieces are small, but don't crush them all into a powder.
    • Add the condensed milk and the 200g of the Skor toffee bits (equal to 1 package) and mix very well to ensure everything is well coated
    • Line an 8" square baking dish with parchment paper and pour the mixture in. Press down firmly to pack it in evenly around all the edges
    • Bake at 350F for approximately 20-30 minutes until the toffee bits have melted and colour is golden.
    • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. The chocolate should melt (if it doesn't, pop it into the oven for 1 minute and take it back out). Smooth it out into a layer using a spoon
    • Sprinkle the rest of the skor bits on top and allow it to cool completely for 30 minutes. Cut into square pieces.
    • Once cooled, separate pieces gently and store in an airtight container if using later

    Notes

    • The chocolate layer is optional - if you don't have any feel free to skip it
    • Store in an air tight container on the counter for up to a week

        absolutely! Place them in a single layer, flash freeze, then put them in freezer bags.

      Amazingly easy, addictively yummy!! I made it for Eid, was a hit with family and friends 👍😊
      One question I had is, would evaporated milk (rather than sweetened condensed milk) have worked just as well, given all the sweetness from the toffee and chocolate?

        Hi Dana! Evaporated milk won't work, since it won't act as a binder and doesn't have that "sticky" quality of condensed milk. If you wanted it a tad less sweet, I would decrease the amount of toffee bits and condensed milk by just a bit, then taste the mixture and adjust!

      Awesome and so easy. The only thing I did different is use a pastry knife to chop up the crackers

          For people asking about if they can’t find toffee bits. If you buy a bag of bite size skor bars and freeze then smash them up in the bag with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer, it works just the same! It’s what I did this time since all my local stores were out of toffee bits ! This is my favourite holiday treat to make!
