Ingredients

The full printable recipe card with measurements and instructions is found at the bottom of the post.

Graham cracker crumbs – You can buy crushed or crushed graham crackers with a rolling pin.
Sweetened condensed milk
Holiday baking chips – I can find these around Christmas at the grocery store. Our local bulk food store also has them in bins.
Whipped white frosting – I like the Betty Crocker brand, but any brand you can find will work.

What to Serve with Them

Variations and Substitutions

Use Oreo cookie crumbs instead of the graham cracker crumbs.
Try another type of frosting. Cream cheese frosting or regular vanilla buttercream is good. You can use homemade frosting if you wish.
Can’t find holiday baking chips? Use M&M’s, chocolate chips, holiday sprinkles, or chocolate mint chips. Pretty much anything goes here!

Storage Instructions

Store in a covered airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

You can also freeze these bars after the frosting has set. You can tell when it’s “set” when you touch it and don’t get a finger full of frosting. Place in a freezer-safe container and store for up to three months.
