🛒 Ingredients

50 servings

50
  • 2 cups (240 g) full-fat powdered milk
  • 1 can (14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
  • Food coloring (gel or liquid), as desired

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the powdered milk and granulated sugar, stirring until evenly blended.

  2. 2

    In a separate small bowl, mix a few drops of food coloring into the sweetened condensed milk and stir until you reach your desired shade.

  3. 3

    Gradually pour the colored condensed milk into the dry mixture, kneading with your hands until the dough is smooth, pliable, and no longer sticks to your fingers.

  4. 4

    Roll the dough into small balls about ¾ inch (2 cm) in diameter, or get creative and mold mini fruits, animals, hearts, or figurines.

  5. 5

    Arrange the candies on a parchment-lined tray and let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving or packaging.

💡 Chef's Tip

Lightly dust your hands with powdered milk while shaping to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
