Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine midnight snack that’s been my go-to whenever those late-night cravings hit! I call these bad boys “Sweet & Salty Midnight Magic Bars” and honey, they’re about to change your entire snacking game! 🌙✨
You know those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and suddenly your stomach starts growling? Well, I’ve got you covered with this ridiculously easy yet totally impressive treat that combines all our favorite munchies into one heavenly bite.
Here’s what you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth the trip to your kitchen):
– 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers, crushed
– 2 cups mini pretzels, slightly crushed
– 1 cup potato chips, crushed
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup caramel bits
– 1/2 cup peanut butter
– 1/4 cup honey
– Sea salt for sprinkling
Okay queens, let’s get cooking! 👩🍳
1. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper (because who wants to deal with cleanup at midnight?)
2. In a large bowl, mix your crushed Ritz crackers, pretzels, and potato chips. This is your salty base, and yes, it’s okay to snack while you’re making these!
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, caramel bits, and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and melty. (Is melty a word? It is now!)
BTW, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more mouth-watering recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance! 💃
1. Pour your chocolate mixture over your salty mixture and fold everything together until well combined.
2. Press the mixture into your lined pan and drizzle with honey.
3. Sprinkle with sea salt (because we’re fancy like that!)
4. Pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until set.
Cut into squares and try not to eat them all in one sitting (although I totally wouldn’t judge you if you did). These bars literally combine everything you could want in a midnight snack – they’re sweet, salty, crunchy, and totally Instagram-worthy!
The best part? You can customize these babies however you want! Sometimes I throw in some M&Ms, crushed Oreos, or even some nuts when I’m feeling extra fancy. It’s your midnight snack, so you make the rules!
