Equipment
- 1 Baking Pan
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Oven
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
- 1 stick Butter
- 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 2 8 ounce bags Heath Pieces
- 1 cup chopped Peanuts
- 1 14 ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 2/3 cups Nestle Toll House Holiday Morsels
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line the 13×9″ pan with foil over the edges. The foil will make it easier to remove from the pan.
- I had graham crackers, so I made my own crumbs in the food processor.
- Place your butter in the baking dish and put it in the oven until melted.
- Add the graham crackers and mix together.
- Press the butter mix onto the bottom of the pan.
- Add your bags of heath pieces by sprinkling them evenly over the graham cracker base.
- I chopped my nuts in the food processor, and then sprinkled them on top also.
- Pour the condensed milk evenly over the mix.
- Sprinkle the Holiday Morsels over the milk.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool completely on wire rack.
- Lift foil from pan, open up foil and cut into bars. Serve & Enjoy!
Notes
- Shortbread Base – Press the shortbread firmly into the pan to ensure a sturdy base that holds the layers together.
- Gooey Caramel Layer – Use high-quality caramel for the best flavor and texture. Spread the caramel evenly over the cooled shortbread to prevent uneven layers.
- Chocolate Topping – Use your favorite chocolate for the topping, whether it’s milk, dark, or white chocolate.

To ensure the crispiness of Jingle Bars over time, follow these tips:
- Proper Cooling: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. This helps the layers set and maintains their texture.
- Store Correctly: Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as moisture can cause the layers to soften.
