Homemade Milky Way bars are a copycat candy combining chocolate, a creamy filling, and caramel. Spread a mixture of marshmallows melted with lemon juice and mixed with Nutella over a layer of melted chocolate glaze. Add a layer of soft caramel candies melted with a little milk, then cover with the remaining chocolate.

Everything is melted in the microwave or over a water bath, with no baking required, and the hands-on work takes about 15 minutes.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Place the marshmallows and lemon juice in an oil-greased bowl and microwave for 1 minute to melt.
Melt about half the chocolate or chocolate glaze in the microwave or over a water bath. Pour it onto parchment paper and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
Mix the marshmallow mixture with the Nutella in a bowl and heat briefly in the microwave. Stir thoroughly until no lumps remain, then spread over the first layer.
Heat the milk and melt the caramel candies in it; you can also use the microwave for this. Pour the caramel over the previous layers and refrigerate again briefly.
Tip: For classic Milky Way bars, you can skip this layer.
Once firm, cut into small bars. Melt the remaining chocolate or chocolate glaze, dip the tops and sides of the bars into it, and let the chocolate set.

Tip: Marshmallows expand to several times their size in the microwave, so use a large bowl and heat in short intervals. Coat the knife with oil before cutting to keep the mixture from sticking.
