  1. 1

    Melt the butter over low heat. Stir in sugars. Add the milk and bring to a boil gradually over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Lower the flame and add the powdered milk slowly, stirring to work out all the lumps. If you're adding nuts, mix them in once the lumps are smoothed out.

  3. 3

    Cook on medium heat for approximately 4-5 minutes, until nice and thick. Butter a 9x13 inch cake pan and pour mixture into pan, spread evenly.

    Cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge to set - the girls stick it in the freezer so they don't have to wait so long.

  5. 5

    Once set, cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. Keep refrigerated and covered with plastic wrap. One hour of prep time is actual cooling time. Makes approximately 60 small squares.
