Good Wednesday Morning Ya’ll. Hope everyone is enjoying their week! It’s actually my B-day today, whoo hoo for 32! It’s weird because I don’t feel much older than when I was in high school! It’s just a number right!!??
Yes, another Halloween has come and gone and sure enough I had a whole bowl full of mini Milky Ways and 3 Musketeers left that I wanted to get out of the house. Being the cookie lover that I am, I thought, why not just toss all the candy bars into some good dough. Let me tell you, I am not a huge fan of these candy bars by themselves, but Whoa are they good in cookies. The nougat and caramel makes the cookies chewy and ultra soft. I might even be tempted to make these babies all year round, that’s how much I liked them. So, give them a whirl, and if your family is anything like mine, those are the 2 candy bars that are left at the bottom of your Halloween bowls!
Take a peek and enjoy!!
Send Me To The Milky Way Cookies2 sticks softened butter
¾ Cup sugar
¾ Cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ¾ Cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
35 mini milky way and 3 musketeer candy bars, coarsely chopped
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer cream the butter and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined, scraping edges with a spatula. In a separate large bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with the chopped candy bars.
2. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until cooked to your preference. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to a cooling rack.
Come back soon for another Pomegranate Giveaway!! Have a great week!!

Happy Birthday! I just made these cookies and they are great! I didn’t have any milky way but I used half with butterfinger and half with snickers. They were so good!
Thanks!
Happy Birthday girlie! Glad you don’t feel older (especially with kids!), that’s the goal, I think.
Those cookies look awesome, wish I had some leftover candy… heh.
These sound great! And just in time for my friend’s cookie exchange party. I was wondering approximately how many full size candy bars would you use? I ate all of my Halloween candy already!
I have three musketeers I have to use up also…
You creative girl you. The cookies look fantastic.
Happy, happy birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Jenny and these cookies look so dunkable.

Yum- I bet the texture of those candy bars is just perfect in the cookies!
Happy Birthday! You deserve the best – thanks for letting all of us copy off your yummy recipes!
And we have gads of these two candy bars left (I don’t eat them, myself, but give me a DARK Milky Way and I’ll gobble it down), and a friend who shares your birthday, so it’s off to raid the kids’ buckets for these little devils! Thanks!
Happy Birthday, a day late! Mine is on Saturday. But you’re just a spring chicken!

i love milky way candy bars!
here’s another way to use up your leftover halloween candy
oh and happy belated birthday!
Is it 3-5 milkyway or 35? Thanks
Looked like a great idea, I was really liking forward to making them. But they stuck to the parchment and were a total mess. Too bad, but I will have to find a new way to utilize all that candy.
