Milky Way Cookie Bars image

These Ooey gooey cookie bars are so good- took them to bunco club- all gone. Will make again soon. Can make with light or dark chocolate.They are so yummy- tastes just a Milky Way candy bar. Photo shows bars need to be frozen before cutting. I was anxious to try them- they were delicious and a hit a Bunco club! If you don't...

These cookie bars were a disappointment. The cookie base was dry and the Milky Way filling was too sweet.

Overall, I thought these cookie bars were just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to make them again.

I thought the Milky Way filling was a little too thick. I might try thinning it out with some milk next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookie base to spread evenly in the pan. I ended up having to press it down with my hands.

These cookie bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with half the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Milky Way bars, but I really enjoyed these cookie bars. The cookie base is delicious and the Milky Way filling is subtle and not too sweet.
