    Hi greenpixey,

    Fifteens are my favourite thing for using up condensed milk There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas that should help so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

  • Can anyone tell me the difference between Condensed milk & Evaporated milk? Evaporated milk seems a lot cheaper for some reason...

    The reason I ask is that I would like to make the 'fifteens' recipe, and probably Bounty Balls too and while I'll probably just stick to the recipe, the fact that I don't know what the difference is is just bugging me!!! :confused:

    Add some sugar, syrup, butter and some raisins and heat up stirring all the time= raisins and caramel. Put on a biscuit base and there you go- very yummy :D

    Mini banoffee pie.

    Digestive base, cook the condensed milk slowly till it caramelises, pour over sliced bananas and put a few more slices on top.
    If you have any cream, whipped is nice on top too

    You can make fudge from it, or even better IMHO is the Baileys recipe that was posted on here before. I have half a tin in my fridge that I was planning on using to make some...

    What was the cookie recipe? I might change my mind!
