Milky Way Bar Cookies are the easiest dessert you will ever make. Only two ingredients are needed for this decadent dessert.

Two Ingredient Dessert

Today’s recipe is delicious and EASY!!  And when I say easy, I mean EASY!!! Does it get any easier than two ingredients?  Well, maybe one ingredient!

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 and I went crazy over it. 

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

  • Two rolls of chocolate chip cookie dough (16.5 oz. each)
  • Four full size or 12 fun size Milky Way candy Bars

How to Make Milky Way Cookie Bars

  • Slice cookie dough into one inch pieces and lay on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.
Milky Way Bars
  • Bake at 350 for 15 minutes
  • While dough is baking cut up candy into small pieces.
  • Remove pan from oven and lay candy onto top of hot dough. Use finger to push the candy into dough.
Milky Way Bars
  • Return to oven for 12-15 more minutes
  • Allow the bars to cool and then cut up into nice size pieces!

How easy is that!!??

Milky Way Bars

Of course they taste wonderful when they are warm and ooey and gooey.

But they are also wonderful at room temperature – how can chocolate chip cookie dough and Milky Way bars not be wonderful anytime!?

Can I Use a Different Candy Bar?

It’s fun to switch up the candy bar but I recommend using a candy base with a caramel or nougat base such as a Snickers or Three Musketeers.

  • Candy Bar Ice Cream
  • Twix Cookies
  • Malted Milk Ball Chewies

    Thanks for the awesome, ridiculously easy recipe! I’ve made these bars a few times and I always get so many compliments when I make them. Nobody believes they are made with store-bought cookie dough and only 2 ingredients! The first time I made them, they were a bit stuck to the pan. Now I grease the pan with butter and it makes them taste even better!
