Ritz... WOW

Ok, so we're at my beautiful sisters place for Christmas. Everybody was to bring something for dinner, dessert etc.... there was Newfie Peas Pudding, Cottage Roll, Pizza 2 ways, meatballs, hashbrown something or other, my lasagna, Ceaser and tossed salads. Dessert consisted of a wonderful trifle, fresh peanut butter cookies, chocolate cookies, fruit dipped in chocolate, the COOLEST chocolate fountain, and there was this incredible bar style gooey mass in a 13"x9" dish. I cut into it and tasted a small piece. OMG. It was sweet, sticky, and had an excellent creamy frosting. I almost thought I tasted peanut butter. I looked over at my big bro and he was grinning like the Cheshire Cat. He wants me to guess whats in it. I can tell you now, I was not prepared to hear it was Ritz Crackers, Eagle Brand Milk, and Skor pieces, slathered with a cream cheese frosting. Here is the recipe, as well as another I haven't tried yet.

Bars:
1 - Package of SKOR bar chips (made by ChipIts)
1 - Box of Ritz Crackers, crushed
1 - Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

Crush Ritz crackers with rolling pin (if you leave them in the bag it is less messy). Add the can of milk, and all but 1/4 cup of the SKOR ChipIts. Mix all ingredients and press into an 8x8 well greased pan.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, sprinkle the remaining ChipIts, let it cool and enjoy!

NEED to try this one soon.... i'll let you know the verdict.
