Feature: Easy Milky Way Brownies to Celebrate National Milk Chocolate Day

Chocolate lovers, you can celebrate National Milk Chocolate Day (July 28) with Milky Way Brownies. Can you say a-m-a-z-i-ng?

Milky Way candy bars debuted in 1923, the brainchild of Mars, Incorporated food company founder Franklin C. Mars.  Contrary to urban legend, the candy bar was not named for the galaxy but rather the Milky Way milkshake, a popular malted chocolate dessert. By 1930, Milky Way was the #1 selling candy bar in the world.

In the American version, the candy bar is made up of layers of chocolate nougat (a creamy, sweet filling) and caramel with a firm milk chocolate coating. European versions omit the caramel layer.

This recipe uses that same layered format. And it’s uber-simple when you use a brownie mix.

Prep time: 5 minutes for each layer 
Bake and cooling time: 50 minutes plus cooling in between layers
Makes 16-25 brownies, depending on how you cut them
