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 are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These cookie bars are a great make-ahead dessert. I often make them a day or two ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.
