Be forewarned. This recipe is not for the faint at heart. In fact, you will most likely gain a pound just reading the ingredients. It is not for someone who is dieting, diabetic, watching their waste line or wanting to fit into that pair of skinny jeans by next month. It is fattening and full of butter and candy bars BUT it is lip smackin, make your toes curl and your grey hairs straighten good! If you can handle all of that, then this is the recipe for you. This isn't a recipe for light weights. (No pun intended.) Warning: Consuming one piece of this cake will lead to wanting more.

    ***Frosting**** Melt butter, Milky Way bars and milk. Add powdered sugar until desired thickness is reached. I make my frosting to the consistency of ganache. You want it to be thick and not run so that it sticks to the cake well. When you cut each slice your frosting should come apart with the cake almost like fudge. YUM! Enjoy!
