Sweets "Cow" - one of the most favorite treats for kids. Their creamy taste is so soft and memorable that it is difficult to stop by trying once. At the same time, “Cow” candies (the composition of which, if prepared under industrial conditions, may contain flavorings and preservatives) is very easy to make at home. Cooking requires the most common ingredients, and the result will be not only amazingly tasty, but also much more useful than the store version.
Homemade Cow sweets
The recipe is quite simple, but the cooking time is long - at least six hours. Take 600 grams of sugar, 200 grams of milk powder (you can buy it in the department of baby products), 0.5 liters of regular milk (not only non-fat, but whole) and 100 grams of unsalted butter. In addition, you need fireproof dishes with a thick bottom. Mix two types of milk and sugar in it. Cook this mixture for about an hour until it becomes a light beige color. By the way, if you continue to keep it on fire, you can get homemade condensed milk. To prepare Cow sweets, add butter and continue cooking, stirring constantly. The mixture should gradually thicken and darken, acquiring the color and taste of boiled condensed milk.
Be careful, because the mass can start to burn - so you can not stop stirring. When the mixture thickens enough, it needs to be cooled a little, put in a rectangular shape on parchment. The mass will be sufficiently sticky and viscous. Cover it with another sheet of parchment and let it harden. Cut the treat into pieces, wrap each of them in "candy wrappers" of parchment or roll in icing sugar. It may happen that the Cow candies do not solidify, then you can remove them from the mold and put them back into the pan, adding a little oil. Melt the mixture over low heat, boil and put it back on parchment. You can add nuts (almonds or peanuts), candied fruit slices, marmalade,
puffed rice to the candy mass
