I double this recipe and put it in a heart-shaped silicone baking mold for Valentine's Day! I prefer using silicone baking molds as it is easier to pop right out of the mold without having to use a cooking/baking spray.
Ingredients

- sweetened condensed milk: 1 can (14 ounce can)
- butter: 0.25 cup
- ½ teaspoons pure peppermint extract: 1 piece
