Mile High Bars

I've been making these yummy treats for many years. I was given the recipe from a coworker, and everyone I have shared them with loves them!

No-bake dessert bars are more popular than ever. In the summer, it's nice to be able to make a decadent treat without turning on the oven. And without having to use a lot of stuff.

Mile-High Bars are simple, but they taste AMAZING! The 5 ingredients are Chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter, mini marshmallows, and dry roasted peanuts.

You can get about 40 small pieces, or 20 larger pieces from this recipe. These tasty dessert bars are pretty rich, but you can cut them any size you want!
