No-Bake Holiday Bars

Cold fruit and nut bars held together with sweetened condensed milk and cherry juice, crushed crackers for texture. Uses pecans swapped for walnuts, marshmallows replaced with dried apricots for chew. Chilling time slightly extended for better set. A no-bake twist on a classic. Mix dry first, add liquid slowly to control consistency. Press firm, fridge till solid. Cut clean bars. Keeps refrigerated to avoid sogginess. Great for make-ahead snacks or gifting. Watch texture, not clock. Use whatever dried fruit on hand, swap nuts as needed. Monitor moisture; too wet means soft bars, add cracker crumbs to fix.
