Just don't indulge too often, okay? I don't want to be responsible for leading down the wrong path with your diet! HURRICANE MILKY WAY CAKE 8 Milky Way candy bars (not the large size)
3 sticks butter or margarine
4 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped pecans
1 small can evaporated milk
1 6-oz pkg chocolate chips
1 cup marshmallow creme In a saucepan combine the candy bars and 1 stick of the butter or margarine. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Set aside. Cream two cups sugar and 1 stick of the butter or margarine in a bowl; beat in the eggs, one at a time.
