Ingredients

• 200 ml Sweetened condensed milk
• 50 g Whole milk powder
• 40 g Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and unsalted butter. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the whole milk powder, granulated sugar, and cornstarch to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

Gradually sprinkle the dry mixture into the saucepan with the milk and butter while continuously stirring to prevent clumps from forming.

Step 4

Increase the heat slightly to medium and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should reach the consistency of a thick pudding.

Step 5

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.

Step 6

Allow the milk filling to cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Spread the milk filling evenly onto your cereal bar base before adding the top layer or pressing additional cereal elements over it.

Step 8

Refrigerate the assembled cereal bars until firm, allowing the filling to set completely before slicing into individual portions.
