Better Than Milky Way Bars...adapted from recipes from Hugs and Cookies and Dinners, Dishes and Desserts
1 stick (4 ounces) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1 12-ounce bag milk chocolate chips
3 tablespoons cream
1 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
1 14-ounce bag caramels
3 tablespoons cream
1 12-ounce bag milk chocolate chips
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 300º. Line 8 x 8 inch pan with nonstick foil or greased regular foil.
Beat together butter, sugar and vanilla. Add the flour. Press evenly into pan...you may need to flour your fingers to prevent sticking. Prick crust with fork. Bake 35-40 minutes till crust is golden. Cool.
Melt 12 ounces chocolate chips in microwave, starting and stopping to stir at 30 second intervals till melted and smooth. Add 3 tablespoons cream and marshmallow creme, and stir till well combined. Pour over cooled crust and spread with off set spatula. Cool in fridge while preparing next layer.
Put caramels and 3 tablespoons of cream in microwave. Stop and stir at 30 second intervals till melted and smooth. Pour over chocolate layer and spread with offset spatula. Refrigerate for a couple hours.
Melt second bag of chocolate chips as directed above. Add vegetable oil when melted and pour over caramel layer. Place in refrigerator till firm.
Use foil to remove from pan, peel off foil and cut into bars to serve. Store in refrigerator.

OMG Lizzy ...!what a wonderful dessert you made here.. look those heavenly layer in each slice... Just YUM!! :)
Hi Lizzy these bars are fantastic!! my mouth is watering!
Have a nice day
Wow! Those look so much better than the shop-bought ones. I'd be worried I would devour the lot if I made them!
Definitely far better!
they are wonderful!
These looks beyond fantastic. My husband loves milky ways so I think I'll have to do this for him soon. :) Yes, I think we all will have to get on the treadmill now. LOL! Heading over to Kim's to check out her post now. :)
I think it's worth getting on that treadmill - looking decadent, Liz. Love Kim's humour, too - off to check out your guest post.
Another wonderful set of bars. I don't do the treadmill Lizzy because I have plenty going on at home, home work, gardening and I am quite hyper, which means I am not a couch potato and walked a lot.
Anway, I control my sugar intake, thats why its always just one small bite and that satisfies my need for desserts. Would love to have a little portion of these yummy bars.
ah Dear Look absolutely amazing and delicious!!!:))
I want them NOW!!!! They look delicious!
Lizzy-
I never liked Milky Way bars, but I'm sure that I would like these. They look amazing! I'n heading on over to Kim's blog, and then ride my exercise bike.
wow those look amazing!! yum!
I saw your post over at Kim's. Very Very Very nice!!
I want some... I need some... Oh, please just give me some!
Oh my gosh. That looks absolutely amazing. Delicious and decadent. Caramel. I see lots and lots of caramel. Heading to the Lunatic now.
Oooh yes!!! definitely looks better than milky way bars! Gotta make this to confirm the "definitely tastes better than" but I'm sure it is! You've turned me into a slobbering idiot at this very moment ... not many people get to do that.
Un peccato di gola!! Irresistibile!!
Io non rinuncio al dolce!! Proprio non riesco!!
Sei bravissima!!
Un bacio!!!
omg I love milky way bars-these look fantastic! I'll join you on the treadmill in a few days after I make and consume them :)
How can anyone stay skinny eating delights such as this!? Come on now! :) These look dangerously good!
Look divine. We will all be on a treadmill after this. Heading over to Kim's blog.
they look beautiful.I wish i could them from the screen.definitely making them.Your blog is really cool.
uh oh...I could eat the whole pan! thanks for sharing!
Silly question here, but I need to know.. when you say cream, do you mean heavy cream or half and half? Thank you! This may become a weekend project for my granddaughter and me!
Yummy Recipe...I am gonna make it soon..Bookmarked it..

Thank you so much Liz, I am so thrilled and honored you guested for me today. Much love! xx
What a great dessert! finger licking marshmallow cream, caramel and some more cream.
You always have such fantastic recipes. This one is a must for Valentines Day:)
whatever you share is magic on my tongue :)
ok, and a feast for my eyes~
Thanks, everyone!!!
Judy, I used heavy cream, but the original recipe called for evaporated milk. I think it would be pretty forgiving...half and half, heavy or whipping cream, or evaporated milk would all be fine.
I opened this page and actually said out loud, "ARE YOU KIDDING?" In very much a good way! :) This is fabulous! Gotta try this for a V-Day treat, perhaps. Thanks for sharing!
These look incredible!! I MUST make these soon! :)
At the rate you're going Liz, I'm going to need a treadmill too!
I was so excited to see you over at Kim's today! These look AMAZING. Milky way bars were my favorite as a kid and I can't wait to try recreating them at home.
Look at those layers! This looks amazing Lizzy!! Holy crap, I'm going to have to try this. That's incredible!
Gee, gooey looking layered bars and killer on the hips indeed. Of to visit this new to me blog.
These are one heck-of-a treat!! I wish I had one right now!
Loving this recipe. I am drooling over the caramel.
Lizzy, fabulous chocolately heaven + more heaven + even more heaven + even more. Do you post to Ireland?
Oh wow ... those look incredible!
I'm on my way to check out your guest blog.
It was an absolutely awesome guest post my friend - you are very talented in all that you make :D

I've never had a milky way bar before. I don't think they have them in Canada. ._.
Oh wow Liz - this looks incredible! You really make some killer squares!
Thanks, Lizzy, for the quick response about the cream. Looking forward to making this. I will definitely not mention this recipe at my Weight Watchers meeting this evening. What they don't know won't hurt them!!

Oh my lord...these are just too much! And I mean that in a GOOD way, Liz!! Thanks for sharing these on my Super Bowl snacks linky party!
Happy Sunday Lizzy. These are just too much. Can you get on the treadmill for me too please, lol. I've been eating a lot of citrus lately, but have to admit my chocolate craving need do fully go away. Hope you got in a little relaxing.
-Gina-
I've always been a snickers man myself, but that wouldn't stop me from eating these. ;-)
Oh Liz these look like heaven. I would need to stay on the treadmill for a whole day because just one wouldn't do, hehe. Thanks for participating in the YBR :)
I love love how each layer looks so perfect! They sound fantastic:-) Hugs, Terra
