Homemade Milky Way Bars Treat

 🍫✨ Homemade Milky Way Bars Treat 🍯🍬

Soft nougat, gooey caramel, and a silky chocolate coating – just like the classic, but homemade with love! 💖

Ingredients:

* 2 cups milk chocolate chips (for coating)

* 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

* 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme

* 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

* 1/4 cup powdered sugar

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1 (11 oz) bag caramels (about 40 pieces), unwrapped

* 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions:

1. **Make the Nougat Layer**: In a bowl, mix marshmallow creme, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Press this nougat into a parchment-lined 8x8 pan. Freeze for 10–15 minutes to firm up.

2. **Add the Caramel Layer**: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramels with heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour over the nougat layer and spread evenly. Chill again until set.

3. **Cut and Dip**: Once firm, lift the layered block out and cut into small bar shapes.

4. **Coat with Chocolate**: Melt the chocolate chips (with coconut oil if using) until smooth. Dip each bar to fully coat, letting the excess drip off. Place on parchment and chill until set.
