No reviews

Homemade Milky Way‑style bars with a soft marshmallow‑nougat center and milk‑chocolate coating — creamy, nostalgic candy bars made with minimal ingredients and effort.

  • Total Time: about 1 hour 15 minutes – 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: ≈ 12 bars

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow crème)
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Line a small baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup of the milk chocolate chips (in the microwave or over a double boiler) until smooth.
  3. Spread the melted chocolate evenly in the dish and place in the fridge until hardened.
  4. In a bowl, mix the marshmallow fluff and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Spread the marshmallow mixture over the chilled chocolate layer, then refrigerate briefly to set.
  6. Melt the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips and pour the melted chocolate over the marshmallow layer, smoothing the top.
  7. Refrigerate the bars for at least 1–2 hours, or until fully set.
  8. Once firm, lift the slab out using the parchment and slice into bars (about 12 bars).

Notes

  • For an extra‑classic taste, add a thin layer of caramel between the chocolate and marshmallow layers.
  • Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor, or white chocolate for a fun twist.
  • Stir a spoonful of peanut butter into the marshmallow center for a nutty variation.
  • If the chocolate cracks when slicing, let the bars sit at room temperature 5–10 minutes before cutting.
  • Bars can be frozen up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before eating.
