How to Make Silky Way Candy Bars Like Milky Ways

  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 45-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Alternatively, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler.
  4. Stir in 10 ounces of marshmallow creme and 1 tablespoon of water until completely smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  7. While the chocolate layer chills, combine 14 ounces of unwrapped caramels and 1/4 cup of heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
  8. Microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring until the caramels are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  9. Pour the caramel mixture over the chilled chocolate layer and spread evenly.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set completely.
  11. Once firm, carefully lift the candy bar slab from the pan using the foil overhang.
  12. Using a sharp knife, cut the slab in half, then cut each half into 5 bars, for a total of 10 bars.
  13. Melt 8 ounces of chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl in 1-minute intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
  14. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  15. Dip each candy bar, caramel side up, into the melted chocolate, using two forks or dipping tools. Tap off excess chocolate.
  16. Place the dipped bars on the prepared baking sheet.
  17. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  18. Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade Silky Way candy bars!
