Thanks for sharing. Is the carnation milk suppose to be evaporated milk?

[mommarivera]

Sounds yummy!!!!

[tracymes3]

I am sure it is evaporated milk Puzzlegut, unfortunately I'm copying these recipes from my Family Cook book and it does not specify...However, ...I am almost positive it is carnation evaporated milk due to using brown sugar and white sugar, i believe condensed milk would make it way to stiff and sweet. I hope this helps you. I hope you enjoy these recipes.

Thanks for the recipe! I'll definitely be trying some soon....

A co-worker's mom showed a group of us how to make homemade tamales a few months back. I made them again on July 4th just to 'cement' in my brain how to make them. I now have 9 dozen chicken tamales in the freezer that I'll be sharing with family next month. These pralines will go great with tamales! (for dessert of course)
