Milk Toffee (Kiri Toffee)

"One of the most cherished sweets of my childhood. Whether it's home made or bought from a grocery shop, milk toffee is such a milky, nutty & sweet pleasure to indulge. "Kiri Toffee" as it widely called in Sri Lanka, is a popular sweet not only among kids but also with adults like myself. As milk and sugar tend to get clumpy & sticky when cooking, make sure to stir often."
