When it comes to sweets I cannot resist my self. And be it any sweet Iam in for it. I had milk powder at home. It was lying in my shelf and I didnt know what to do with that until I came across this recipe.

The taste was too good and very easy to make. Its got its own flavour.. It was heavenly, irressitable taste... I was about to gulp every thing down and thats when My hubby dear was like "Will you leave atleast one for me to taste?"

After all, I just have only my Hubby here to taste my first time experiments... And he loved it. Thank god!! I was able to click a snap before everything was over!!!!!
