Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ensure that the Milky Way pieces are evenly distributed in the brownie batter?
After chopping the Milky Way bars, gently fold them into the brownie batter until they are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the candy to melt too much and create uneven pockets in the brownies.
Should I refrigerate the Milky Way bars before adding them to the brownie batter?
It’s not necessary to refrigerate the Milky Way bars before adding them to the batter. Chopping them at room temperature should work just fine.
What’s the best way to check for doneness when baking Milky Way brownies?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, the brownies are done. Avoid overbaking to ensure a fudgy texture.
Can I store the leftover brownies?
Yes, you can store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life. You can also freeze them for several weeks. Just be sure to let them cool completely before storing.
Substitutions and Variations
Candy Bar Substitutions: If you don’t have Milky Way bars, you can use other similar chocolate candy bars, such as Snickers, Twix, or Three Musketeers, to create different flavor variations.
Caramel Swirl: Drizzle caramel sauce over the brownie batter before baking and use a toothpick to gently swirl it into the batter for a caramel-chocolate fusion.
Mini Muffin Tin: Make mini Milky Way brownie bites by baking the batter in a mini muffin tin for bite-sized treats.
Ice Cream Sandwich: Sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two pieces of Milky Way brownies to create a delicious ice cream sandwich dessert.

I super love brownies but I’ve never tried this flavor of chocolate in a brownie before! Delicious. Recipe is quick and easy to follow! Fun to make in the weekend. Thanks for sharing!

You’re welcome! Let me know if you make them. 🙂
These sound absolutely delicious! We have been doing a lot of baking with my daughter recently and she loves Milky Ways so we might just give these a try!
Thank you! I have shared them with the Milky Way lovers in my life and they liked them. These would be great to make with your daughter!
Congrats on your second dose! These look and sound amazing – I’ve saved the pin to try one weekend this month! Thanks 🙂
Thank you! They are a great weekend treat. 🙂

Lol, it was hard not to eat them all at once!
Ooooh I just LOVE a Milky Way so just thinking about these is making my mouth water!
These sound so simple and delicious!
I love brownies. These look so good and delicious.
They are simple to make, too!
I love Milky Ways and I love brownies, so putting the two together sounds like heaven. I’m surprised to see yoghurt as an ingredient though. What are the measurements for none Americans who don’t use cups but use grams and millilitres in cooking instead?
Thank you! It is really good. The original recipe was from my grandpa. He created it when he was trying to cut calories so I imagine that’s why yogurt is one of the ingredients. Here is a great cups to gram conversion calculator that I use when I’m baking: https://www.allrecipes.com/article/cup-to-gram-conversions/
These brownies sound delicious and simple to make. I need to try them. Thank you for the recipe.
Thank you!

congratulations on your second vaccine! These look absolutely delicious, I am sure my sister would love them, she adores milky ways! Thank you for sharing x
Thank you! If she likes Milky Ways, she will love these! 🙂
You just combined two of my favorite things!! How do you keep the Milky Ways from sinking to the bottom?
My husband loves both of these as well! The key to keeping them from sinking is cooking the bottom layer for 10 minutes first. Add the candies after that and top with the rest of the batter. When it’s all done, you can’t tell that the bottom has been cooked more. I was worried but it worked out well! 🙂
Okay, so this is one I’m definitely gonna try myself. Great post x
Thank you! I hope you like it. 🙂
Oh my goodness these look so dreamy! I can’t wait to bake them for my family. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. I am sure your family will enjoy them!
