These irresistibly gooey bars taste like a toasty s'mores with fun peanut butter and caramel flavors, thanks to the Reese's and Rolos, and an unexpected salty crunch from the Ritz! Guaranteed to be a new family favorite!
Ingredients
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 2 sleeves Ritz Crackers
  • 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme/fluff
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (8 oz) pkg Rolo Minis
  • 1 (8 oz) pkg Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9" baking pan with foil, allowing the sides of the foil to extend over the edges of the pan. Mist the foil lightly with baking spray, and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, butter and egg with a rubber spatula or spoon until a soft dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan; top with a layer of Ritz Crackers (4 x 6 crackers, for a total of 24 crackers covering the surface of the bars).
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the marshmallow creme and the sweetened condensed milk and pour the mixture evenly over the top of the bars. Sprinkle evenly with the Rolos, Reese's Cups, and the remaining Ritz Crackers (roughly crush the remaining crackers with your hand).
  4. Bake for approx. 20-25 minutes or until the center is just about set and the top is golden brown. Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into bars. You can also refrigerate the bars briefly after cooling to help them firm up. Store leftovers airtight, at room temperature.
