Despite their name, these White Trash Bars taste incredible! They’re the perfect mixture of sweet and salty, and you only need 4 simple ingredients to make them!
Don’t get offended.
It’s just a name.
These bars are pretty crazy.
Simple, and yes, trashy.
When I tell you what’s in them you’re gonna die…
So maybe I shouldn’t?
I don’t want you to die.
Well, I guess I’ll chance it. I’m sorry, playing with your life is not something I take lightly.
Ok here goes…Ritz Crackers. Sweetened Condensed milk and Toffee Bits.
That’s it.
Are you still there?
Hellerrrr?
Ok, phew.
So yeah.
Let’s get trashy…
White Trash Bars.
These are really absurd. Stupid, really.
But you have to make them.
Just once. At least.
How to Make These Delicious Dessert Bars
I let my kiddo crush up the Ritz crackers…
Also, he would like me to point out that he was wearing a wizard costume…just in case you were wondering about his hooded vest.
Moving on…
Once you have the Ritz crushed mix them with a bag of toffee bits and pour into a greased baking pan…
Then pour a can of sweetened condensed milk on top…
You can do this right in the pan, or in a separate bowl.
Stir it all together and press evenly into the pan.
Bake it for 15-20 minutes.
Let it cool completely and then trash it up a little more with frosting.
You can eat it right away or even let it sit overnight. It’s great the next day!

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

The.Boy is such a ritz cracker fiend so I have no doubt he’ll just about collapse with happiness when I make these for him!
Sound delish! Could you use crushed up Heath bars? Do they sell toffee and the grocery store?
absolutely! I bet that would be great!
and yes, they sell it down the baking aisle usually neat the chocolate chips.
These look GOOD!!! What do they taste like? 🙂
Like a dense cookie bar!
YUM- bet the kiddos loved helping with the smashing!
Could you be cuter? Love the story and the name.
White trash in a bar form? Yes, please!!!
This is now the second time in my life I’ve heard a food called ‘white trash (whatever)’. Last one was brownies frosted. Kind of funny but seriously, who cares about the name if it tastes good – right? 🙂
I’m surprised they look as dense, chewy and gooey as they do! Would have guess w/ the crackers and just 1 can of sweet milk, they’d be more crumbly, i.e. no butter used. But I love the chewy look and I want one!
These look like they would be hard to stay away from! I’ve never heard of this recipe before. Thanks for being the recipe tester! I will make these, and have everyone try and guess what is in them! What a fun recipe!
I hope you don’t mind, but I put a link to your blog on mine!
If I can’t find any toffee pieces, what else can you use? I don’t like to bake (I just like to read this blog for entertainment & drooling) but I might give these a try. Could you top these with some white chocolate, maybe? What do you guys think?
I have seen these before, but never actually made them. They sound so good!
That would be my son in some kind of costume, helping me out as well 🙂
Ha! I never would have guessed. They look delicious and so easy.
The wizard cape thing had me laughing. Oh kids are funny. These bars sound fabulous.
these sound beautiful but when you say toffee do you mean soft sticky toffee or hard toffee pieces? would like to know so i can make these little trashy bites lol!
Toffee pieces..they are also called “Bits O’ Brickle”
This is the good kind of trashy. Definitely.
O. Ma. Ghee. You can call these WHATEVER you want, as long as I get to have them in my life. Seriously – Ritz crackers and toffee bits? You had me at white trash.
DUDE! I was going to make these last week but didn’t have any toffee bits!
I had never even HEARD of these bars until just recently! I had no idea they were such a thing!
Oh honey boo boo…… 😉
Ok, so I totally get it. In the South, for Christmas parties, people dip Ritz in chocolate (sometimes a blob of pb on the Ritz then the chocolate) and call it made, so this makes total sense. And the salty sweet thing is totally to die for. Easy peasy 🙂
Oh my god, I just died. Seriously…love love this!!
Oh my gosh these look delicious!
It’s all in the name! Love these. Who would have thought Ritz crackers?
Whatever it is called it looks and yum! And so easy to make!
I love the name you gave these bars!!! I’ve been making these for years! Never had a name for ’em though… They are really great. When I first saw the ingredients I couldn’t believe it, so simple, but tastes nothing like you’d think! Glad to see I’m not the only one with this easy recipe up my sleeve 😉
Awesome! When I first had them at my friend’s house I couldn’t believe what they were! Mine came out a little more dense than hers, though, but just as yummy!
I love the name and I love ritz crackers! These sound awesome!
Interesting, I need to try these!
Ok, I am OFFICIALLY intrigued and officially making these! How could you not? These sound amazing and I’ve never had such a thing. Gotta make this happen asap!
Okay, these just sound deee-lish-us to me. Does that make me trashy?
Err… don’t answer that.
I’ve made these and when they came out of the oven, I put some Hershey bats on top. As the chocolate melted, I spread it evenly. Let cool and enjoy.

Bars not bats
I’d like to take out that trash!!! It sounds awesome!!!
sometimes we all need to get a little trashy right?
sounds trashy fabulous!
Well, I once made a pie out of Twinkies, so I am all about the trash. I’ll take the whole pan, please.

Oh my, I love the simple list of ingredients in these! An easy recipe for over-the-top results! These bars look fantastic.
Haha… this post.
The wizard costume, the name, the absurdity… 🙂
I have a can of open sweetened condensed milk and I happen to have some Daim, too. Now I just need some Ritz crackers and then I can make like, an 1/8 of this. Yay!
