Recipe Box, 5 Minute Trick or Treat Bars
Posted by the Painted Apron on October 5, 2014 · 27 Comments

Want a recipe for cookie candy bars that only takes 5 minutes?
These decadent bars take maybe 5 minutes to throw in the oven
It’s a version of 7 layer bars and you only need 1 pan
Melt the butter right in the pan in the microwave or stick it in the oven while the oven is preheating
Add the graham cracker crumbs to the melted butter and pat into a crust
Top with assorted goodies
I used butterscotch chips, mini Rolos, mini Reeses Cups, and honey roasted peanuts, then you pour the sweetened condensed milk slowly over everything and it “glues” it all together as it bakes
How can this not be good?
I made these to take to the beach last weekend
to keep my fishermen happy
When they went to the store to buy beer and bait
I asked them to bring me a surprise
They brought home this Halloween glass…can you see the jack o’lanterns and BOOs in the shiny orange?
It’s so tacky and terrible I just LOVE it!
They are so sweet, they bought me some wine to go in my glass too~
I think they liked my cookies 🙂

5 minute Trick or Treat Bars
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter 1/2 cup
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 8 oz. bag unwrapped Rolos
- 1 8 oz. bag unwrapped mini Reese’s Cups
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup honey roasted peanuts
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Melt butter in 9 x 13 inch baking dish in microwave or in oven as it’s preheating to 350.
- Pour graham cracker crumbs into melted butter and mix well with a spoon. Pat mixture evenly on bottom of pan and 1/4 inch up sides of dish.
- Sprinkle a layer of each candy on top and finish with the peanuts.
- Slowly pour milk over all, letting it seep into all the nooks and crannies, covering the candy and nuts.
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until set and golden. Cool thoroughly before cutting into bars.
Unfortunately these are a little too easy to make!

These look sinfully good! What kind of fish are those? No need to make up a fish story — they really are that big!
Decadent is right….and delightfully delish!
I like the wine glass too!:-)
Oh, Jenna! If it weren’t 7 a..m. right now I’d be on my way to the store to get the ingredients for this wonderful recipe! I know what I’ll be doing today. Thank you for sharing what I know will be a hit for my family. Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
Thanks Rosie, as I mentioned, these are unfortunately so easy to make! Oh and they stay fresh for over a week, if they last that long!!
happy Halloween
Holy Cannoli these sound easy AND tasty, two of my favorite things ever! It sounds like the perfect way to use up some halloween candy too. I can imagine using some chopped up snickers or other candy bars. This sounds like it’s a pretty versatile recipe! Thank you for sharing it. 🙂
thanks Hope, these really are insanely good…I originally planed to use Snickers but they got eaten! All these candies come in unwrapped bite size pieces now which is almost a little too handy 🙂
I love your new glass Jenna! Looks like the cookies brought some good luck fishing too:@)
ha! thanks Jim!
Still trying to get the comments to work… ugh:@)

Printed it! Making these soon…so much for losing weight! These look delicious, Jenna!
yeah, sorry 🙂
What a catch Jenna, fish and fun glass 🙂 Your 7 Layer Bars look delicious with the addition of the Rolos!
Ooh Jenna, yes, these bars do look absolutely decadent and I’d love every bite of one!! Thanks for sharing an easy treat for us to enjoy.
