Easy 3 Musketeers Candy Bar Dessert

Once in a while on a road trip we’ll stop at a gas station and everyone gets to pick out their favorite candy bar.  My husband ALWAYS goes for 3 Musketeers!  At trick-or-treat it’s a guarantee that he’s going to rummage through the kids candy and confiscate the3 Musketeers bars.  So when I made this Milk Way Cake out of my favorite candy bar and it tasted so good I knew that I needed to adapt it so that we could enjoy his favorite candy bar in a cake!

Making a smooth icing took a little practice and patience.  Stick with it until you reach success.

We noticed that each time we’ve made this cake the center rectangle seems to separate a bit from the outer rectangle.  Don’t worry, it tastes great!

3 Musketeers Cake Icing

As the 3 Musketeers candy bars are melting, if the icing isn’t smooth add a little milk and keep stirring and heating the mixture.  Pour the icing over the cake while everything is still warm.

While the icing was warm I gently tilted the cake in each direction to get full coverage of icing.  Cover with plastic wrap and let it all cool together.  We made this cake once and the icing wasn’t quite smooth, but it still tasted great!

TIPS FOR MAKING 3 MUSKETEERS CAKE

This creamy chocolate cake is one of our favorites because it calls for real3 Musketeers candy bars!  Here are some tips for a delicious cake:

• Have all ingredients measured and ready before beginning each portion of the recipe.
• Don’t rush the melting of the candy bars.  Low heat to medium-low heat and steady stirring wins the melting race.  It would be a shame to burn the candy bars!
• Pour warm icing on a warm cake.
• Cover with plastic wrap to maintain maximum moistness.
• Cool before serving.
