No Bake Butterscotch Ginger Snap Bars Recipe
Tis the season to bake... or not to bake. I do love baking, but I've been having a great time exploring different no bake dessert recipes lately. I've always been naturally interested in the wonders of recipes that taste as good as baked but aren't. Ever since I started making this type of bar back in September, I knew I wanted to try some fun flavors for the holidays like butterscotch and ginger snaps. Doesn't it just sound like a holiday treat in the making? Well, it's November already so here we go!
The best part about this recipe is that its just so easy and there are only a small handful of ingredients. Um, only THREE Ingredients to be exact! I mean how much easier can it get aside from buying pre-made goodies? Somehow these few ingredients come together to make a festive dessert bar that is as gooey as it is crunchy? Oh so sweet, you will definitely be on a sugar high after eating one! That is a guarantee! These would be delicious alongside a nice hot cup of fresh brewed coffee. Yum.
No Bake Butterscotch Ginger Snap Bars Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Ginger Snap Cookies finely crushed (I used Target Store brand)
- 2 Cups of Butterscotch Chips
- 1 Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz)
- Non Stick Spray
Instructions
- Spray an 8 x 8 pan with non-stick spray. Set aside ¼ cup of butterscotch chips and 4 Ginger Snap cookies. Melt the remaining butterscotch chips on stove top or in microwave. Remove from heat and mix in sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Add remaining finely crushed cookies and make sure they are fully covered in butterscotch mixture. Spoon mixture into pan. Press the batter down evenly with a spoon or spatula. Add remaining butterscotch chips and 4 crushed cookies evenly onto the top of the batter. Press into the top and then flatten the bars again if needed. Let cool for 2 hours or more. Faster if refrigerated. Enjoy!

Wow! I'm pinning this to my Christmas bake board. These will make a great addition to my home made gift baskets! Thanks!
No bake...That's right up my alley. I will definitely give these a try! Looks very tasty.
I left you this big long comment and then went to pin it before I submitted so I would pin from the right url and I lost all my chatter. What the crap. Anyhow, I pinned these babies and they look craaaaaazy good. PS. Now I see why you're so darn sleepy. You don't sleep; you bake.
These sound PERFECT!! I need them in my belly!!!
Oh my goodness, love it. Love that it is no bake, meaning no hassles! HA
I love this rich recipe. It's perfect for Holiday Cookie Exchange parties that we have coming up.
WHAT??? Only 3 ingredients and no bake? OH MY!!! MUST-TRY!!!
I have a bag of butterscotch chips and some gingersnap cookies left over from another recipe. I can make this over the weekend!
Wow, those no bakes look like baked! I bet they are so good. I bought some gingersnaps for ME the other day (I figured the kids wouldn't like them). I was so wrong. They tore into the box like if they'd never seen a cookie before. We'll have to try this recipe for the holidays. I love a good no bake recipe! Thanks for sharing.
What a fun combination of flavors! I am gonna have to give this a go!
Oh my gosh. Those look heavenly!
