Camila's Tips and Variations
- If the dough becomes too soft, add more milk powder. If it becomes too stiff, add more dulce de leche. Be careful not to overdo the milk powder (NIDO), as it can make the candy tough.
- Mix in ½ cup chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and taste.
- Roll the finished squares in shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
- Add a few drops of vanilla or almond extract to the mixture for additional flavor.
- Mix in cinnamon or cocoa powder into the dough for a different flavor.
- For easier cutting, use a plastic knife or plastic bench scraper to cut the candy.
