Squirrels are one of the most beloved animals in the world, and these Chewy Nutty Squirrel Bars are a delicious way to celebrate them! These bars are packed with crunchy nuts and condensed milk, and they’re perfect for a snack or a quick breakfast. Plus, they’re easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
I first discovered these bars when I was visiting my grandparents in the countryside. They had a squirrel family living in their backyard, and I was so excited to see them! I asked my grandmother if there was a way to make something special for them, and she suggested these bars. I was so happy to be able to give something back to the squirrels, and they seemed to love them!
