Sweet & Salty Snack Bars
I know, I know…these bars have a very unfortunate name. I get it. But it’s really just the perfect way to describe the salty/sweet/chocolatey/buttery perfection we have going on here.
By calling them PMS bars, you know you’re getting something to cure even the worst hangry. Because honestly there is something about the situation we have going on here that gives me happy vibes. You have all my favorite food groups all in one place: Pretzels, M&Ms, sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter and graham crackers. See? All of ’em.
Plus, we know PMS isn’t just for the ladies anymore…amiright? Like for SURE my husband gets a little of it. Like what in the world is THAT all about?
Last week I asked him maybe turn the TV down from volume 100 so I could hear the fire alarm go off, you know just in case, and you would have thought I asked him to unload the dishwasher or something.
Like daggers. Out of his eyes.
And also can we just talk about the TV volume for a quick second? Do all men have to watch it that loud or is it just a thing in my house. My husband LEGIT starts turning up the volume on movies as the opening credits are starting. I’m like NO ONE IS EVEN TALKING YET STOP TURNING IT UPPPPPPPPPPPP!
The last movie we watched I swear to Pete that he started turning up the volume when there were SUBTITLES on the screen! I’m like no matter how loud they speak in Spanish you will STILL NOT UNDERSTAND IT.
Soooo…wait, maybe I AM actually the one with PMS here. What just happened?
How to Make PMS Bars
Anyhow back to the bars. They are simple dimple. Just a quick graham cracker crust…
Then pour on some sweetened condensed milk…
Top that with whatever chip medley is your fave.
I’ve got semi-sweet, peanut butter and M&Ms.
All over…
Then Pretzels.
Also, I used these cute little Mini Pretzel Thins I found at the store and they worked perfect. And no, they aren’t paying me to say that.
Just press them into the whole situation…
And bake it for like 25 minutes or so…
Let them cool completely before trying to cut them. Trust me on this.
I even like to chill them a bit so the slices come out extra perfect.
And that’s it.
Make ’em. Love ’em.

Hi
have you YouTube canal
thank
and sorry about my bad English
NO, I don’t have a You Tube Channel yet!
Looks yummy! My husband turns the TV up WAY TOO LOUD as well. I thought maybe I just had sensitive ears. Glad I’m not alone in this frustration. =)
So yummy, Shelly! I don’t care what you call ’em!
I can so relate to the volume. It’s embarrassing because I know our neighbors can hear our TV!
Love that sweet and salty combo for those times when we need it most. And no it’s not just us, I think men definitely have their own mood swings too!!
Delicious!!!
I think I need to start carrying one of these bars in my purse at all times, for emergencies! Amazing!
Oh my goshhhh Shelly, these look amazing! I’m on a limited dessert diet for the next 7 days (uuugh), but when vacation is over I’m whipping these up. I love ending my weekends with a delicious recipe from you!
