Thank you so very much! They look so good. I've never had a candy bar named for me. I don't know what to say other than: "You're wonderful!"
Now I've just got to make these, then hide them from Keely's nose, mouth, and stomach. "Honey, your Mom wants you to visit for a month!"
Do I really have to share?
Yes, you have to share.
Ahhhh...those look fantastic!
Thanks for the virtual candy!

Wow, this looks amazing. I can't wait to try it!
Great..you just made me hungry now!
This looks so yummy.
Linked over from french toast girl blog. i am always looking for new recipes to try. i like this one, not only because its CANDY, but also because the ingredients are not hard to find. I do have to see where cocoanut oil can be found in my area. i never looked before so maybe it will be right at grocery store?
Sandra,
I have found it in the oils section at Whole Food stores or Vitamin Cottage. I'm not sure if my regular grocery would have it. I'll check. Ccoconut oil and coconut butter is the same thing.
The pictures for this look so beautiful I HAD to give this a try. Well, surprise surprise, it was pretty easy to make! And just as delicious as it looks! Thank you so much for your ingenuity and your generosity in sharing this brilliant recipe.
I made these. I followed the recipe, except I substituted honey for the maple syrup. The chocolate coating never got hard in the freezer. It stayed sticky. They tasted AMAZING, exactly like milky way bars. The caramel was so good. My only complaint is that they are too messy to eat. I had to lick the chocolate off of my fingers after eating them.m It could be because I used honey instead of maple syrup. I will experiment more with this recipe, and see if they come out better next time. Maybe cacao butter instead of coconut oil?
