    Amazing, if you want to try, check out Eastern European shops near you. They sometimes stock these. My local does, though i haven’t tried shop bought ones yet.

    One if my earliest childhood memories was when i was maybe 5 or so, and you would make them with your neighbours for a new year party celebration. Amazing home cooked for sure 😊😀

      That is so nice!

      How did you make the filling?

      This was my first time making them and I read a few different recipes for the filling. I have more shells I can fill.

      I bought one of these to make these cookies.

      Edit: Bringing them to my mom today. She used to make them when she was a child too too.

        I didn’t, i was about 5 at the time, but still remember that experience :)

        Normally back then you would take condensed milk (i prefer unsweetened) can and boil it for about 3 hours to make the filling. Its very close to Dulce de Leche. Back then we didn’t have premade stuff being sold. Be careful though i only done it a handful of times (boiling it) so make sure no part of the can is ever exposed to the air and always have water covering it.

          I cheated and bought Dulce de Leche. Recipes say mix it with butter which is also what my mom said to do.

          I find different brands of Dulce de Leche have different tastes though.
