1

Heat oven to 350ºF.
2

Melt butter in rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches, in oven. Stir in crushed graham snacks; press evenly in bottom of pan.
3

Sprinkle peanut butter chips, white baking chips, chocolate chips and peanuts over crumb mixture. Drizzle condensed milk over top.
4

Bake 25 minutes. Loosen bars from sides of pan while warm. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. For 32 bars, cut into 8 rows by 4 rows.

Make these tasty bars even prettier by cutting them into elegant shapes. For triangles, cut bars into 2- to 2 1/2-inch squares. Diagonally cut each square in half. For diamonds, first make straight parallel cuts 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart down the length of the pan. Then make diagonal cuts across the straight cuts 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart. Lovely!
Use any unfrosted or unfilled chocolate cookies in place of the teddy bear-shaped cookies. Crush enough to measure 1 1/2 cups.
