Kitchen Sink Bars

Use your favorite combination of white, milk & dark chocolate chips, pretzels, crushed potato chips, nuts and more for these kitchen sink bars.

We will be watching the Super Bowl with a bunch of friends this weekend.

There will be chili, nachos and A LOT of other food.

With this group, we search for any reason to do a potluck, and for the big game it’s pretty much mandatory.

Food takes priority over football, but I think that’s usually the case when your team isn’t playing.

I cleaned out my pantry with these kitchen sink bars.

They combined snacks and dessert into a single bite.

Salty or sweet, pretty much any mix-in works.

I kept it simple with white, milk & dark chocolate chips, pretzels and crushed potato chips, but you also could use nuts, dried fruit or shredded coconut.

You really can’t go wrong!
