milk on milk candies

when i was a kid, i used to have a quick self prepared snack of powdered milk and sugar. variations were made if powdered chocolate drink is available. i mix everything up...no science in mixing...just everything in a small cup.  i would then bring this along with me around the house slowly spooning my time away with this glorious powdered invention of mine.

a few years later, my hunny introduced me to this easy recipe of a similar combination. again, there's no science behind the mix.  just do what you like.  

milk on milk candy

1 can condensed milk
2 cups powdered skimmed milk
about 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar

pour the condensed milk in a large bowl.  add 1 cup of skimmed milk to the condensed milk. mix the two milk mixture well.  if the dough is too sticky, add more skimmed milk then mix it well again.  adding more skimmed milk will make the dough drier and a little tougher.  just take it easy on adding more skimmed milk.  you may need to use your hands in mixing the dough as it will be too heavy to mix using a spoon.

when the dough is easily handled and doesn't stick on the hands, it is now ready for shaping.  easiest method is to flatten the dough half an inch thick.  then with a knife, cut the flattened dough into small squares.  again, no science.  you may shape them into your own desired shape. u can make them into balls as well by rolling small pieces of dough on your hand.

if you have choco chip morsels, you can plug it in the cut dough to have variaty to the chews.

roll then the small candy chews on granulated sugar to prevent them from sticking with their fellow chews.
