Found this recipe on PanlasangPinoy.com a great site for Filippino recipes. These are little milk candies shaped into little cylinders, traditionally made with water buffalo milk and wrapped in celophane. This recipe is nicely adapted for those who don't have access to a water buffalo! It uses powdered milk instead. Simple! Can't wait to try these! Note: I can't tell how many the recipe makes, it says it serves 4. I recommend looking at the blog to see what the candy should look like!
