EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The easiest way to drizzle sweetened condensed milk over these bars is to pierce 2 holes—a large and a small one—in the top of the can. This allows air to get into the can and makes the milk flow out much smoother than it would without that second hole.

Make-ahead magic! These bars are great when made the night before, and they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

These were a big hit! Only problem was they weren't done after 25 minutes so turned it up to 400it for about 10 minutes. Everyone loved them!
