3-Ingredient No Bake Heath Bar Recipe

Today I was sitting in church, near the front, feeling quite smug. We finally got to the point where all four kids were sitting up and behaving through mass… not wiggling, crying, begging for snacks, having to go to the bathroom, etc. It was one of those Sunday morning’s where in my head, I thought… “This is finally easy. People are probably sitting behind us with their wiggly, crying kids being envious of us, like I used to when my kids were small. We’re finally at the point where even church is easy!”

Well, smugness in church is probably not a good thing, because on the way home, all hell broke loose…. meltdown city in the car, fist fights, palms from Palm Sunday were being shredded. There was yelling, crying and more. We used up all of our good behavior in church and completely lost it on the drive home. 

3 Ingredient No Bake Toffee Bars

Having your kids get older does help with the easy factor. My kids can now get up and make their own breakfast, can pour their own milk, pick out their own clothes and even take their own showers. Their independence means my independence, which is a glorious thing, to some extent.

One of the best things about having older kids is when I’m craving something… say chocolate, caramel or toffee, I just say the word and one of my kids hops up and heads to the kitchen to make something. They are little craving enablers, and I like that, a lot!

These 3-Ingredient No Bake Toffee Bars are a great way for your kids to prove that they are ready for some independence, all the while making you something quite tasty. Simple steps, simple ingredients these toffee bars are pretty much no fail.

I know someday I’ll be crying about their independence from me, like probably tomorrow, but today I’m going to sit back and enjoy things being “easy” for a change, with a no-bake toffee bar in hand.

    So bittersweet having our little ones growing up – but I will say, I love how independent they have become! These no-bake toffee treats are just what I need! Our oven recently decided to no longer work… so I haven’t been baking! Yum! Thanks for sharing, Kristen! xo

    I’ve always thought that the easiest time to enjoy kids is when they are old enough to pour cereal and milk and yet not enough to drive. Love to you and them.

    Just laughing at how opposite an hour can be from each other. While I don’t have my own kids yet, I have experienced the ‘flip of a switch’ attitude from my nieces and nephews.
    And these bars? ANYTHING with toffee and I am sucker for it! Especially Heath. Never say no to that 🙂

    We’re still working on the being good in church part. And I saw palm fights from my piano bench yesterday, but was powerless to intervene while tickling the ivories….What an amazing recipe. Even my little warriors could make this!

  8. Joanie @ ZagLeft says

    I can certainly remember Sundays with five kids and it never was peaceful. Between rushing to make it to church on time, fighting in the car and arguing about what clothes were appropriate for church, it always seemed like an accomplishment just to walk in the door somewhat pulled together. These bars sound absolutely perfect, by the way – and the perfect reward for good behavior – for them and me 😉

    These no-bake toffee treats are perfect for kids. But it is also perfect for those who have sweet tooth. And what makes it even better is it only needs 3 ingredients and does not require baking. Amazing.
