Crisp, chewy, and kissed with butterscotch—these bars are childhood memory, pressed into a pan. With no baking, no mixer, and just 15 minutes of hands-on time, they’re the kind of treat that feels special without trying hard. The sweetened condensed milk and butterscotch melt into a glossy, caramel-like binder, hugging every rice crisp with buttery sweetness—then set into bars that hold their shape but melt just slightly on the tongue.
✨ Best of all? Just 3 ingredients.
Perfect for last-minute gifts, lunchbox surprises, potlucks, or that 3 p.m. “I need a little joy” moment.
