HOMEMADE MILKY WAY BARS

Soft caramel, a peanut butter nougat in a dark chocolate wrapper! Kiss those processed bars goodbye and say hello to these little beauties!

  1. Coat the mini chocolate bar molds with a good, but thin, layer of chocolate. Be sure to leave a good cavity for the filling. Place in the fridge until filling is ready.
  2. Make a batch of marshmallows and measure out 1/2 cup of marshmallows. If they are not still gooey, melt them on the stove until you can mix them easily.
  3. Add 2 Tablespoons of organic peanut butter to the melted marshmallows and mix well.
  4. Next, mix 2 Tablespoons of butter, 2 Tablespoons of water, and 4 Tablespoons of sugar in a small sauce pan and bring a boil over medium heat. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Once you have everything ready, remove the chocolate from the fridge. Add a 1/2 Tablespoon of caramel to each mold, and fill the rest with the marshmallow filling.
  6. Set in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Remove mold and close the bars with additional chocolate.
  7. Set in the fridge until chocolate is firm. Remove chocolates from mold. Wrap in the same method as the homemade granola bars. Store in an air tight container in the fridge for 2 weeks, or at room temperature for 2-3 days.
