Santa’s No-Bake Sugar Cookie Bars
Ingredients:
– 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
– 1 cup mini marshmallows
– 1/4 cup festive sprinkles (red, green, and white)
– 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until well blended and the mixture holds together when pressed.
2. Press the mixture evenly into a lined 9×9-inch baking pan to form the crust.
3. Melt 1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
4. Pour the melted white chocolate over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
5. Immediately sprinkle 1 cup of mini marshmallows, 1/4 cup of festive sprinkles, and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans (if using) evenly over the melted white chocolate layer.
6. Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until firm and set.
7. Once set, cut into bars and serve chilled.

Tips:
– For a fun twist, try adding crushed peppermint candies along with the festive sprinkles for a holiday flavor.
– Be sure to line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cutting.
– If you want a creamier texture, you can mix in a little cream cheese with the melted chocolate before spreading it on the crust.
