Elvis Bars

There are some days when I want to spend all day in the kitchen baking. Like my Lemon Minion Cake. It took hours, the better part of a day. But it was a blast. Cake and frosting and decorating. It was fun and relaxing and revitalizing.

But then there are the days when I have no time to bake and I want a treat NOW! Days when I’m inspired by my writing and can’t tear myself away from the computer. Days when I have plans whether they are with friends or just my TV. Days when I just don’t want to spend all day baking and dirtying literally every dish in the kitchen.

Elvis Bars

These Elvis Bars are made for those days. I was looking for something to make and saw this recipe in my bookmarks just calling my name, and they should be calling yours too.

I called these Elvis Bars because Elvis is known for eating peanut butter, banana, and bacon. So these don’t have banana, but they have carob (or chocolate) and marshmallow, so I don’t think anyone will miss the banana. The bacon comes from the Maple Bacon Kettle chips I used. I’m obsessed with all Kettle chips, but lately I can’t get enough of the Maple Bacon. They really do taste like bacon.

Feel free to use whatever marshmallows you have on hand too. Mini are great, but just break big ones into smaller pieces. I actually used some Red Velvet ones I had in the pantry.

So these bars have some of my (and I bet your) favorite ingredients, are gluten free, no bake, and easy to make. They do have to chill, but if you bust into them before they are set, I won’t tell 🙂

Currently craving a giant slice of this Espresso V Currently craving a giant slice of this Espresso Vanilla Bean Tiramisu Cake. Then again, when am I not craving it??? This cake has all the flavors of tiramisu and is covered in a drippy glaze that packs a second kick of coffee. So that means it's totally acceptable to eat this for breakfast, right??? ☕😋
