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.
I want them NOW!!!! They look delicious!
ah Dear Look absolutely amazing and delicious!!!:))
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.
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.
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!
I think it’s worth getting on that treadmill – looking decadent, Liz. Love Kim’s humour, too – off to check out your guest post.
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. 🙂
they are wonderful!
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!
Wow! Those look so much better than the shop-bought ones. I’d be worried I would devour the lot if I made them!
Hi Lizzy these bars are fantastic!! my mouth is watering!
Have a nice day
OMG Lizzy …!what a wonderful dessert you made here.. look those heavenly layer in each slice… Just YUM!! 🙂
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 🙂
Definitely far better!
