Milky Way Bundt Cake

6 Milky Way candy bars
1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 c. finely chopped pecans
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1 1/4 c. buttermilk

Stir in melted candy mixture, vanilla and nuts. Turn batter into greased and floured Bundt or 10" tube pan.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour & test to see if done. If not, cook a little longer. Check for doneness buy sticking a long piece of spaghetti in the middle of the cake and it should come out dry.
