Candy made from dry milk

Once you make them, you won't even look at store-bought ones! Without any chemical nastiness, for pennies.

 Milk Powder Candies

INGREDIENTS 250 g dry milk 300–350 g sugar 100 g butter 100 ml water 2–3 tbsp cocoa powder 1 pinch cardamom PREPARATION First, boil the syrup from water and sugar. You don't need to cook it for long, just keep it on the heat for 5 minutes after boiling.

In the hot syrup, add the butter and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then mix everything thoroughly until homogeneous.

In a bowl, mix the cocoa powder and dry milk.

Pour the syrup into the bowl with cocoa and dry milk. Mix very well. At this stage, you need to add cardamom or other fragrant spices (cinnamon, vanilla) to the mixture. Mix everything thoroughly and place the mixture in the refrigerator to set for 30–40 minutes. Shape the mixture into any form and roll them in cocoa.

If desired, some candies can be rolled in crushed nuts or coconut flakes.
