Dulce de leche... is a traditional candy in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay and other parts of South America. Its most basic recipe mixes boiled milk and sugar, although other ingredients may be included to achieve special properties. It can be prepared by buying sweetened condensed milk and cooking it for several hours until it caramelizes. It is used to flavour candies or other sweet foods, such as cakes, biscuits or ice cream, as well as flan. It is also a popular spread on toast. 3, record 1, English, - milk%20jam
