Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 3 cups graham crackers, crushed
- 1 cup butter, melted (regular or plant-based)
Toppings:
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate candies (I used the Unreal brand)
- 1/3 cup peanut butter chips
- 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
- 1–2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 11.25oz can dairy-free sweetened condensed coconut milk (regular condensed milk works too)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment, ensuring there are some extra on each side over-hanging to assist with lifting out the bars. Spray with olive oil or your favorite non-stick cooking spray.
- Make Crust: Combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a small mixing bowl. Pour out into the baking dish and spread out evenly. Press down firmly with hands to create a flat crust on the bottom.
- 1st Bake: Place in the oven, middle rack, for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool (feel free to pop in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to help it cool down quickly).
- Layer: Spread out 1/2 cup walnuts, 1/2 cup milk chocolate candies, 1/3 cup peanut butter chips, 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips, and 1-2 tablespoons rolled oats evenly across the graham cracker crust. Pour sweetened condensed milk over top evenly. Feel free to sprinkle a few extra candies, oats or chocolate chips over top.
- 2nd Bake: Place in oven, middle rack, for 15-20 minutes.
- Cool + Serve: Remove and let cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Gluten-Free: simply make sure you are using certified gluten-free oats and gluten-free graham crackers.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: if you aren’t concerned with keeping it dairy-free, you can simply use a can of regular sweetened condensed milk.
- Storage: simply place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freezer: cut them into individual bars, place them in a single layer or place parchment paper in between layers, and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
