Instructions

  • Melt ⅓ cup of chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval, until completely melted.
  • Combine the powdered sugar, melted chocolate and marshmallow fluff in a large mixing bowl. Fold the ingredients together until smooth.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the marshmallow mixture onto a pair of 9x13 inch baking sheets lined with wax paper. Chill the pans in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until the marshmallow mixture is firm to the touch.
  • Use your hands to shape the caramels into discs about the same shape as your marshmallow discs. Gently press the caramels onto the marshmallow and chill for another 30 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining chocolate just like you did before and then dip each disk in the melted chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off and return them to the baking sheets.
  • Chill your Milky Way bites in the fridge for about an hour, or until the chocolate is set.

Notes

Chewy caramels: Make sure you grab the chewy caramels. You want to be able to bend and shape the caramels to match the shape of the nougat mixture.
Use wax paper: I recommend using wax paper, not parchment paper. It doesn’t matter so much once your bites are dipped in chocolate, but the marshmallow fluff is much more likely to stick to parchment paper than wax paper.
Use 2 baking sheets: The marshmallow fluff mixture will spread out a bit before setting, so it's best to use a pair of baking sheets to give them room to do so.
