What to do with 19 fun size milky ways?!

My kids each got a novelty container with fun size milky ways in them at Christmas time. I noticed earlier while I was cleaning out the cupboards that they are BB 25 February :eek: There are 19 of them left and the kids arent that keen on them - they have loads of other selection box sweets left that they prefer.

So, Any ideas on what I can make to use them up?

I have had a look through the recipe index but nothing came up and can't find anything else on the forum - sorry if there is and I have missed it

  • Mars bar cake but call it Milky way cake!

    Chop up the milky ways and melt in a bowl over hot water. Add some butter and syrup till its all melted.

    Then throw in rice-crispies or cornflakes and stir till coated and either put into cake cases or spread into a cake tin and leave to cool. You can also coat with melted chocolate if desired.

    You beat me too it Edinburghlass, tho I might make it abit more Rocky Road as the fluffy bit would be sweet like marshmallow so I think some chopped cherries might be nice too. Do we have a drooly smillie? :D

    Its only a problem cos I'll only end up eating them and I dont think they feature on the SW plan!!
    I had thought about a cheesecake but have no idea where to start with this.
    I have no cornflakes or rice krispies in the house ATM, any other traybake ideas?

    Ok, if no cereal what about crushed biscuits (digestive type), dried fruit, nuts?

    mmm, they sound good, melted milky way with crushed digestive biscuits, covered in chocolate. The next problem will be stopping me from eating them as oppose to the actual bars!!

    They will prob last a good few months after their best before date. Sugar doesnt tend to go off and the best before date is more of a guide, unlike a use by date which is normally used on more perishable items!!!!

    Deep fry them in batter. 00000050.gif:D

    (use fizzy water for the batter if possible as it sticks to the chocolate better ;))

    :eek: :eek:
  • Make an ordinary plain or choc sponge cake and melt them and pour over top like icing!!! :D Allow to cool and harden before cutting.

    Actually with that quantity you may want to make a coupke of cakes!!!!!
