Preparation

Step 1

1.Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper and set aside. Meanwhile, unwrap all the Milky Way candies and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the candies in the microwave on high power for about 30 seconds, then stir. Continue melting the candy bars in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between to prevent burning, until mostly melted.
2.Add in the butter and the bag of mini marshmallows and microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir, and microwave for another 30 seconds again until marshmallows are puffy and have melted. Lightly stir the marshmallow and candy bar mixture to combine.
3.Add the cereal into the bowl and gently stir to coat.
4.Grease your hands with butter or cooking spray and carefully grab fistfuls of the cereal mixture. Form into compact patties and place the patties onto the prepared baking sheet. If the mixture is too hot, allow it to cool slightly before forming; however, it’s best to work quickly before the cereal can set in the bowl. Allow the patties to set for a couple hours at room temperature, or for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
5.Melt the Candiquik according to package directions. Dip each patty into the chocolate, coating completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return to the baking sheet. Sprinkle with sprinkles, if you’d like. Eat!!
