Milky Way Bar Cookies are the easiest dessert you will ever make. Only two ingredients are needed for this decadent dessert.
Today’s recipe is delicious and EASY!! And when I say easy, I mean two ingredients easy.
I first had these Milky Way bars over 20 years ago. We were having dinner at my husband’s bosses home and his wife served this treat for dessert.
One of my top 3 favorite candy bars is a Milky Way bar. When she gave me the recipe I couldn’t believe it, it had only two ingredients. Milky Way candy bars and store bought chocolate chip cookie dough. You know the one that comes in the roll in the refrigerator section of the store!?
Ingredients Needed
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Milky Way Candy Bars
How to Make Milky Way Cookie Bars
- Slice cookie dough into one inch pieces.
- Cover bottom of a 9 x 13 pan with cookie dough.
- Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
- Cut candy bars into small pieces.
- Remove pan from oven and spread candy bar pieces over top of hot dough.
- Press candy into dough.
- Return pan to oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes,
- Allow the bars to cool and then cut and serve!
Tips
- Line pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean up.
- These are delicious at room temperature, but even better when served warm.
- It’s fun to switch up the candy bar in this recipe. Candy Bars with caramel or nougat, like Snickers or Three Musketeers, work best.

Hi, Kristen,
Just browsing my email and came across a recipe that I’d like to make. By any chance are you related to Steve, Kenny and Jana Duke. They originally came from Burbank, CA. I believe Joan Duke, their mom, lives with Steve. Just wondering because Duke isn’t a very common name. I belong to the LDS church, Burbank 3rd Ward. I’d like to hear from you, if possible.

Hi Jackie! Those names don’t sound familiar. My husbands family is from Northern California, his dad is Kent Duke. To my knowledge, they don’t have family in Burbank.
