Vía Láctea (feminine noun (la)) — Milky Way. Look up Vía Láctea in the dictionary

La Vía Láctea es nuestra galaxia.
The Milky Way is our galaxy.

can you use that for the candy bar or not?

I think you'd still say "Milky Way" for the candy bar, as that's a name, and typically (as I understand it) you don't translate names.

oh right you don't :P
