Heat half cup of cooking oil in a pot on high heat.

Open the can of thick milk and pour it into the pot.

Pour in fresh milk and stir the mixture.

Continue stirring until the mixture starts to bubble and change color.

If the mixture bubbles too much, reduce the heat to avoid burning.

Stir continuously to prevent sticking, especially if using a non-non-stick pot.

Wait for the color to change from white to cream to dark brown, indicating readiness.

Once ready, wipe oil around a plate to prevent sticking before pouring the mixture in.

Pour the mixture into the prepared plate and let it cool slightly.

Shape the mixture into balls using your hands or silicone molds for different shapes.

Place the shaped candies in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to set.
