Description
A traditional Sri Lankan treat - Milk Toffee usually vanishes in half the time it takes to make it. It's amazing with raisins and cashews. I have also tried making it with walnuts and raisins. Similiar to American fudge but with a harder consistency (should be almost brittle as opposed to toffee like). Great with a cup of tea or coffee and traditionally served as a sweet at the end of meals, tea time, or for festivals/New Year.
