Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

These are awesome! But, I didn't want to mess with melting chocolate (I always manage to burn it) so immediately after removing from the oven I sprinkled the coconut layer with a mixture of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips. They melted quickly and I spread with a knife.
