White Trash Bars

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!

White Trash Bars Are An Easy No Bake Dessert!

Don’t get offended. It’s just a name. I didn’t even come up with it…this recipe is one of those 1980’s recipes that all sorts of weird names. Simply enough these bars are crushed Ritz crackers with toffee bits, and sweetened condensed milk. You can cover them in frosting if you want to go that extra mile, but they’re just as good without the frosting too!

How to Make White Trash Bars/No Bake 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!

How To Store These:

These are perfect kept at room temperature stored in an airtight container. You can also freeze them airtight for up to 30 days for best freshness!

    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 🙂

  2. 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 😉

    1. 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!
