I don't like staying in the kitchen for hours after cooking the main course making dessert, so I prefer simple desserts for entertaining. These Sweet Condensed Milk Bars or Cocadas de Lechera are the perfect dessert for entertaining.
I wish you all a happy Pascua (Easter) with your families and friends. Hope you enjoy the warm, spring days a head. Have fun with the egg hunts!

I was looking for a coconut sweet that was slightly different to the Jamaican sweets, Coconut Drops! I think that I'll try these some time.. Latinos and Caribbeans have a lot in common foodwise!!

These were SO easy to make and came out perfectly baked in a mini muffin pan! They also freeze well. Great recipe!!
