Sweetened Condensed Milk

Does anyone eat this stuff straight instead of putting it into a recipe. I was using it to make some candy and I had a lot left over, so I decided to drink a little of it. It's so good! I might just buy a can and drink it as a treat (except that it's high in sugar and calories). Does anyone else like this stuff by itself?

i have a friend who puts sweetened condensed milk on top of hot rice and eat it. i think its kinda wierd but to each is own. looking at him while eating eats looks so great but i dont have the nerve to try it. i tried drinking it yes it is good but not anymore i used to do that when i was younger.

I used to love having rice, milk, and sugar and that's a treat in and of itself. But, that really sounds good with sweetened condensed milk in it.

The way you describe it.. it would not be a good taste to me, to eat it...

I guess if you don't like sweet things or milk products, it probably won't taste good. I love it, it's sweet and smooth and creamy.

I have tasted a little bit of it by itself and that stuff is sweet. It would have me bouncing off the walls. It is great for a lot of different recipes though. Have you ever used it to make icing for a cake?

Hi Rozie! I think I have used it for icing on a cake, but most recently I used it to make popcorn balls and caramel.

I don't think I've made the ones with nuts, yet. I just made the caramel ones.

Oh I just love pop corn balls. Have you ever made them with the nuts in there. I would be hurting myself if I ever made those.

Sometimes I add it to my tea if I am tired of having my tea without sugar. It taste quite good, for me... Have you ever tried that?

Wow, that sounds really good. Maybe I'll do that.

Hi there... I can remember back in my teens, eating this stuff, I use to stick the spoon in and get out a big heap of it and just eat it, I loved it then, but now Im not so sure, as this stuff is far too sweet for my liking...

You know what's funny is that my mom used to use this all the time and I remember tasting it, but I never thought of just eating it straight probably because it's expensive.

I can not say that I have ever tried drinking or even tasting (for that matter) sweetened condensed milk - I do use it occasionally in baked goods, but the left overs - if there is enough I will place in a small jar and freeze for another date - or in a small ziplock baggy. I have a bit of an aversion to milk - perhaps that is why I have not felt this compelling urge to drink sweetened condensed milk straight up!

Yeah, if you don't like milk, then I can see why you wouldn't want to drink it.
