Have you seen the new Milky Way Simply Caramel Bites? They are delicious and the prefect addition to your favorite desserts… or right out of the bag. I won’t judge you no matter how you eat them! I decided to use them in a cool surprise treat for a friend!
So the common cold has been going round again. I really thought we were past that… but I was wrong! I have a friend that has kids that are the same age as my older two and both of her kiddos came down with a cold on the same day. We all know that it’s hard having one sick kid at home, but having two is a nightmare!
My good friend is running on empty and I know she could use a little cheering up! She has a sweet tooth as I do and she loves peanut butter and caramel so I had an idea to make an old favorite I’ve been making for years even more special by adding Milky Way Simply Caramel Bites to it! I’m excited to introduce you all to my No-Bake Milky Way Salted Caramel and Peanut Butter Fudge! Try saving that 5 times fast!
This is one of those recipes that you can easily whip up in 5 minutes. Let it set for another 30 and BAM! You’ve got fudge in no time!
With only 3 ingredients there is not much to it… and that’s another reason I love it!
This sweet treat starts with just a can of vanilla frosting. I’ve made it using homemade frosting but it doesn’t get as solid as I like, so I just buy a regular can of frosting at Walmart and use that. It works perfectly!
Next, empty the frosting into a bowl and heat in the microwave for 60 seconds.
Next, you are going to add a cup of peanut butter. Please do not use the all natural one. I love all natural peanut butter, but it’s too oily and separates too much to use in this. Go for the regular stuff, please!
Now just mix them together till they are nice and smooth. Don’t take too long doing this because the frosting will start to turn back to a solid.
Chop up some Milky Way Simply Caramel Bites…
Spread out the fudge, drop in the bites and sprinkle with some salt…
Let sit for at least 30 minutes and your fudge is done! I hope this becomes a family favorite as it has in our house!
I’m taking these to my friend to give her a little extra energy and to let her know I’m thinking of her… who do you know that could use a little cheering up with this fudge?
Oh my goodness this looks delicious! And I’d never seen the unwrapped bites before! YUM!
Thanks Dominique! It was awesome having them already unwrapped! I think they just came out so hopefully they will be at your Walmart soon!
I’ll be checking it out next time I run to town!!! =)
Awesome! Hope you an find them!
That looks just too good and so easy?!?! WOW… that could be trouble. 😉
It totally could be trouble Jennifer! I apologize in advance LOL!
Hey, no worries! I bet my hubby will devour it before I can do any major damage anyway. 😉
Good point! At least save yourself a sliver of it to enjoy!
Ooooh, yummy! You can’t go wrong with peanut butter and Milky Way bars.
My thoughts exactly Brandie!
Well, that just plain looks AMAZING! Going to have to save for the one who loves Milky Ways in my life.
Thanks Keikilani! Hope they love it too!
I think I just gained 5 lbs.
and i’m not even mad at you for it.
but I do need to get some of these milky ways.
LOL! Thanks Martha! Happens to me too!
That looks amazing! What a great idea.
Thanks Sarah! I’ve been making this for as long as I can remember… and then when I saw the bites I knew I needed to add them to it!
I use cans of cake frosting to make my fudge too! It’s so much easier than making fudge using all of those ingredients and probably ends up being about the same amount of calories!
I think so too Jennifer! So easy and it tastes great. Hard to beat that!
No bake fudge? ?Oh my! this looks amazing, and it is amazingly easy to make, love it. I will be making this soon.
Thanks Susan! Hope you love it!
that looks great, love Milky Way – caramel is my favorite!
Thanks Mama!
Those look delicious. I love Milky Ways.
Thanks Melissa… I love them too… it’s a real treat for me to eat them!
Oh my goodness; that fudge looks amazing! I think I know what i need to make the husband for Father’s Day! Yum!
Amber it would totally make a great fathers day treat! Great idea!
I am obsessed with this recipe. The photos in this post make this hard to resist, but it’s even better in person. 🙂 Yum!
Thank you so much for the kind words Daisy!
My husband would go crazy for this. He loves fudge!
Thanks Ellen!
Yum. I love fudge… and milky way… and salted caramel… and peanut butter. No bake to top it off? I think I could actually make that without ruining it!
I think so too Nicole! So easy to make!
That seriously LOOKS amazing! That would be one that would sell quickly at a bake sale!
That’s a great idea Ashley… it transports really well too!
Oh my sugar lover!! That looks amazing and super creative!! I think even smaller pieces would be good too!
Totally Emily. Honestly, it would be hard to eat a whole piece in one sitting. It’s super sweet. A smaller piece would be totally acceptable… and that would leave more for you enjoy later!
What a cool new way to make a yummy treat. These looks so good and I like that it doesn’t need to be baked.
Thanks Onica!
I wonder if I could even make it through the recipe without eating up the candy. Those are so good!
I seriously want some that right now, it looks so good. Great tutorial by the way, you make it look really easy.
Thanks Carlee!
Wow that’s easy to make! My family would love that!
I hope they do Val!

Wow this looks so good and it’s easy to make too! I have to try it!
Yum this looks SO good! I am really wanting to try these bites, I need to grab a few bags and enjoy them!!!
WOW, these look absolutely AMAZING! No bake is right up my ally, they are indeed my favorite kinds of desserts to make. This one looks especially heavenly!
Now that sounds delicious! I love salted caramel.
Oh wee, that looks sweet! That’s the type of dessert that you can make and eat teeny little pieces of every day! Brandi from Collective Bias
