This discussion is not going to get a lot of responses. 
But I got two cans of condensed milk to review (you can’t always get jewelry, lol), and I don’t want to make a pie. The internet suggested putting some on fruit or on ice cream. I think it even suggested having it on its own.
Anyone have any simple ideas?

7 layer bars is what came to mind for me. The link @RasmaSandra posted had some good ideas.

Is it just condensed milk or is it sweetened condensed milk? If it's sweetened condensed milk and you like caramel, you can just peel the label off the can and put it into a pot of water and boil it, can and all. It will turn into liquid caramel in about 2 to 3 hours, depending on how thick/dark you like your caramel. (Put the can on its side in the room temp water with at least two inches of water above the top part of the can. Bring it to a boil and then turn the heat down and simmer the water to your preferred color/thickness. Let the water/can cool completely before you open it.)
I made the thinner caramel and we used it over homemade ice cream. YUM!

@AmbiePam It is good but it makes a full can of caramel. That's fine when I'm not the only one eating it but it was too much for just me.

@Daddyevil You boil the can for 2 to 3 hours? Sure sounds tempting.

@Nakitakona I'm trying to imagine what sweet milk would taste like on lettuce.

I asked my Mom and she says she used to have it on a sandwich, just put condensed milk between two slices of bread and butter ….( it’s not something I would have , but apparently it was popular back in the day ! )

@AmbiePam it was just after the war so a lot of things were rationed. I know they used to have sugar sandwiches too.

Btw how do you get these things for review? Are you in social media? You do brand reviews and all?

I have used it in recipes for home made coffee creamer for Bob. There is a layered cookie bar I have not made in years that uses it as well. All those sweet goodies.
