Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed
Milk has been called many things, from the dessert maker
to the magic ingredient, since it was created in
1856 and has been a trusted addition to many baked goods and
other sweet concoctions for many years. I first
discovered it as a teenager, while making those wonderful multi-layered
magic bars and have since depended on it for many successful
desserts. The possibilities are endless!
