Milky Way Cookie Bars Recipe

American · Dessert · 50 min total

These indulgent cookie bars combine a buttery shortbread crust, a gooey caramel and chocolate layer, and a Milky Way topping for an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 6 fun-size Milky Way bars, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour and salt; mix until a soft dough forms. Press evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Bake crust for 15-18 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
4. In a small saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour over the crust.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread over the caramel layer.
6. Sprinkle chopped Milky Way bars and pecans (if using) over the top. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are bubbly and top is set.
7. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.

Tips

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• For cleaner cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
• You can substitute Milky Way bars with any chocolate-caramel candy bars.
