Skor Bars

The other day while grocery shopping I picked up a few cans of sweetened condensed milk for making donair sauce, and it got Hubby craving these Skor bars. Originally I believe the Skor bars recipe was one that I got from his aunt’s because he loved them so much. They are just an unforgettable dessert.

These aren’t something you are going to sit down and pig out on… unless you have an iron stomach because they are sweet. But you are more than welcome to try of course.

These are really simple to make, and I never would have thought of a dessert with Ritz crackers would be so freaking delicious. But here we are, enjoying a delicious dessert made from the Skor bars recipe, combining crackers with chocolate.

What you need:

• 1 box Ritz Crackers
• 1 can Sweeten Condensed Milk
• 1 bag Skor Bits
• 4 Aero Bars

How to make Skor Bars:

Start by crushing a bag of Ritz crackers. Crush them up really well, think tiny bits.

Dump them into a bowl and add in the condensed milk and Skor bits – leave about 1/4 cup for later, and mix well.

Press into a greased 8X8 pan and bake at 350 for 10 – 15 minutes. It will not really change color (darken) but it will become more firm to the touch.

While the crust is baking, break up the four Aero bars, I buy the four packs, a bit cheaper that way.

As soon as you remove the crust from the oven dump the Aero bars on top so they melt. Spread it out with a spatula.

Once the chocolate is spread, sprinkle remaining Skor bits over the top making sure it completes this simple Skor bars recipe.

These are delicious!

Refrigerate until set. Cut them into bars, serve them at home as dessert.

Or take them along to a BBQ or picnic, or a pot-luck. Basically, take them out of the house so you don’t get a tummy ache to try to eat this all yourself.

This Skor bars recipe is one of our favorite desserts around the holidays. Something sweet to enjoy with family and friends during the holidays, especially when the recipe includes everyone’s favorite ingredients.

Ingredient Substitutes for Skor Bars

1. Graham Cracker Base Alternatives
   Crushed graham crackers create the perfect buttery base, but you can easily swap them out for:

• • Digestive biscuits
  • Crushed vanilla wafers
  • Gluten-free graham crackers for a celiac-safe version
  • Crushed pretzels for a salty-sweet twist

2. Sweetened Condensed Milk Substitutes
   If you’re out of sweetened condensed milk or want a dairy-free version, try using:

• • Coconut condensed milk (for a dairy-free or vegan alternative)
  • A homemade mixture of evaporated milk and sugar, thickened on the stove

3. Chocolate Chip Options
   The recipe typically uses semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can substitute with:

• • Milk chocolate chips for a sweeter flavor
  • Dark chocolate chips for a deeper, more robust taste
  • White chocolate or peanut butter chips for unique variations

4. Butter Alternatives
   For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter or coconut oil. Make sure the substitute has a firm consistency to hold the crust together.

Add-Ons to Elevate Your Skor Bars

One of the best parts about homemade candy bars is the ability to get creative with toppings and mix-ins. Here are a few family-approved add-ons that turn a simple batch into something extra special:

• Sprinkle chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts) over the melted chocolate layer
• Add a layer of crushed toffee bits or actual Skor bar crumbles for more crunch
• Drizzle melted peanut butter or caramel sauce over the top before the chocolate sets
• Press mini marshmallows into the chocolate for a s’mores-inspired twist
• Mix in crushed cookies or M&M candies for a fun, colorful version the kids love

These variations not only enhance the flavor but allow you to target broader keywords like “homemade toffee bars,” “Skor bar dessert,” and “no-bake candy bar recipes.”

Mom-Approved Tips for Perfect Skor Bars

• Line your baking pan with parchment paper to make removal and cleanup easier
• Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to get clean, even edges
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months
• These bars make excellent gifts—wrap them in cellophane or place in cookie tins for holidays and birthdays

It’s about the memories created around the kitchen island, the little hands sneaking a bite before dinner, and the proud smiles when my kids bring these to school bake sales.
