Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
2. Mix all the above ingredients well.
3. Drop spoon fulls onto a greased or foiled baking tray.
4. Bake till its slightly browned on top and edges. About 30 min
5. Cool and enjoy. I observed that eating them the next day or so makes them better. Initially they are very sticky in the mouth with all the condensed milk but a day or two later they are perfect.
