Firstly, you'll have to forgive me for such a terrible photo. I had to use my cell phone since I have no idea where the battery charger for my camera went. I also didn't cut them too impressively now that I look at it. Please don't let it discourage you from trying this recipe...pretty please?
Now on to the food!
My Mom is a wonderful cook and very supportive of my creating a food blog so I would like to dedicate my first post to her. Mom's been making these delicious squares for years and I'd anticipate them with every special occasion. These contain sweetened condensed milk which, by heating it with the butter and sugar, turns into a sort of dolce de lecce. There is a special place in my heart for sweetened condensed milk. I would drink the stuff right out of the can if it didn't seem like such a sin. Heck, I'd pump it directly into my veins if I could!
These are super easy and super delicious! Perfect for Christmas too! And yes, they will impress people (wink).
Yum!

2 Tbsp sugar
