No Bake Caramel Bars

A good dessert to avoid turning on the oven! The original recipe for this called for a roughly chopped bag of Butterfinger Bites – I’m not sure those still exist, and certainly my store didn’t have them, but Reese’s Pieces were a delicious substitution!

Ingredients:

  • 6 1/2 graham crackers
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 11 ounce bag caramel bits
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 9 ounce bag Reese’s Pieces
  • 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate

Line a 9×9″ pan with foil and spray lightly with baking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with the graham crackers.

Toss the marshmallows evenly over the graham crackers, then set aside.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and milk, and microwave for 1 minute. Stir well, then microwave in additional 30 second bursts until it stirs together entirely smoothly.

Pour the caramel over the marshmallows, using your silicone spatula as needed to help it get down between all the marshmallows to attach them to the graham crackers. Sprinkle the Reese’s evenly over the top and gently press into the caramel/marshmallow mixture.

In a small dish, microwave the chocolate in 30 second bursts until it can be stirred entirely smoothly. Drizzle over the top of the Reese’s.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour, until set, then slice and enjoy.
