These No Bake Milky Way Tarts have a Midnight Milky Way candy bar ganache bottom with a Milky Way whipped cream topping.

…they said bitch.

I am not sure what it is about watching the Dog Shows but every time they say the word bitch I giggle like a little 12 year girl.

Now I don’t giggle at things like ‘Skipper is a two year old bitch”.

I can hold it together for those kinds of things.

But last night while watching the dog show on TV (I love the Pomeranian, King Charles Spaniels and the Bernese Mountain Dogs) I lost all control and giggled uncontrollably for many a minute.

I mean how can you not laugh at “I had that bitch in the ring before”.

I don’t know why it threw me but it did.

And while we are on the subject of dog shows, why do the women who show the dogs wear suits from the 1980’s.

Do I need to buy them a calendar to let them know what year it is?

I realize you don’t want to show up the dog and all, but ugh, some of those outfits make them look like dogs…and not the good kind.

Bow-wow ladies.

You are not at home cleaning the house in your bleached stained green sweatpants, you are after all on TV. Of course, me saying all this probably makes me a bitch, eh? 😀

Since I was enthralled with the dog show I decided to go with a no bake treat.

That’s right, no bake.

No Bake Milky Way Tarts to be exact.

When a reader mentioned she had seen something similar to my peanut butter sandwich cookies in a magazine, I had too.

I just couldn’t remember which one.

I went looking.

It was on of those special for the holiday ones.

In it were these yummy looking no bake Milky Way Tarts.

Very easy to make and super yummy.

What’s not to like about melted down candy bars!

The only drawback is that you have to eat them within 4 hours of making them…which I didn’t find to be an issue. 😉

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

  3. I really wish I had maybe two of these instead of my healthy breakfast that I’m currently eating! lol

  6. My father in law is a veterinarian and last night said “I know the bitch. She’s a good bitch.” (he was talking about breeding) It was all I could do to keep it together.

    These treats look super yummy!

  7. These look fabulous! I bet they could be adapted to use just about any kind of candy bar. Thanks for the great recipe idea!

  8. I am always amazed at the shoes the female handlers wear. Have you noticed them, they are appauling. My DH even noticed how bad they were.

  9. On What Not to Wear there was an espisode where they made over a dog handler. She looked really great at the end of the show.

    This dessert looks so good. As much as I love to bake sometimes it’s nice to try something different. My husband would like these a lot. I would probably make them with the milk chocolate candy bars.

  10. Sure, you would post a recipe featuring my favorite candy bar on a day I’m trying to be “good.” You’re pure evil Peabody. Or pure genius. I can’t decide which. 🙂

    I grew up working at dog shows for a youth group(clean up crew, the most glamorous job ever) and I don’t think those women will ever change. Funny thing is that their attitude often correlates to their clothing. The people who dress like they’re in the 80’s are some of the most uptight and pissy people there. It’s like they left their manners in 1980 when they picked up their wardrobe. To each their own I guess…

  11. I like watching the dog shows, they are fun! I am loving this dessert! I haven’t had a Milky Way since I was a kiddo! Glad they still make them:)

  14. is it bad that I love to watch beavis & butthead? I don’t think you would judge me. LOL
    those super size chunks of Milky Way are killer.

  15. I know, the bitch thing makes me crack up too.
    I am so mature.
    This is going to surprise you… I don’t like milky way bars. Shocking!
    Now, if that was a Snickers, I’d main line it!

  18. Your dessert looks amazing! And the bitch story, hilarious. I have a tendency to laugh at any inappropriate adolescent humor during work meetings…ooops!

    Reply

  21. The Milky Way mousse is … wow, I am a little speechless right now. I’m not sure I could wait 4 minutes, so forget about 4 hours.

    Reply

  24. Ooh, that looks incredible! What a great no bake recipe.
    The “bitch” thing is funny too. I agree about the suits that those dog show ladies wear. Where do you even find a suit like that anymore?

    Reply

  28. Lol! Deep down I think we’re all still 7th graders. I sincerely hope there’s never a time in my life where I don’t giggle about things like that either. 🙂

    Do you think your recipe would work with 3 Musketeers?

    Reply

  29. Oh, yes, so easy to eat. This reminds me of a recipe in Bon Appetit magazine about 3 years ago. I think they called theirs a milky way tart too. Obviously the photo that ran with the recipe made quite an impression on me:)

  30. We love watching dog shows and pay more attention to the handlers’ clothing than the dogs. We do a What Not To Wear critique on them. The younger handlers seem to have better taste. Maybe they should have some of your tarts, to sweeten their attitudes.

    Reply

  32. So I’m not the only one who laughs at the handlers clothes? Didn’t shoulder pads go out of style years ago and hey, that boxy look does nothing for your!

    And I knew I needed to go out and buy some mini graham cracker pie crusts!

  33. love these types of recipes. i need easy right now, my baking mojo is a bit off lately and i could use a bit of break. and speaking of those recent PB cookies… i was in the store trying to load your site on my iPhone so i could get the recipe. i never did get your site loaded but next time i’ll write everything down cuz i can’t get those cookies off my mind!! 🙂

    Reply

  34. OH MAN. These look incredible. I totally want to steal the phrase “Bow wow ladies.” Man, that really sums up my thinking sometimes. Seriously, who dresses these ladies? Who still sells suits like that? Anyway, back to the tart. Um, yeah, eating in 4 hours isn’t going to be a problem. The tarts look AMAZING.

  35. Hey Peabody!

    I love your site. I just spent the last 3 days looking at every single post. There are so many things I want to try. Your photos are amazing, I feel like I could reach through the screen and taste them!

    These Milky Way tarts are a killer and one of the most amazing desserts I have EVER seen! That mousse alone….
