Doesn't matter what big name company it is, according to my informed source .. ok, the clerk at the grocery store.. says you don't get the same results with no-name brand condensed milk. It should be used only when a minor part of a recipe.
She told me this when I made my fudge ingredient return. No worries now, I've given up on making my own.
I used the money to buy flour and icing sugar. Today I make shortbread.

I didn't know Nestle Carnation made a sweetened condensed milk...hmmm...thought they only did evaporated. Now I've learned something. Eagle Brand is the sweetened condensed milk favored in the US.
I think Eagle is the big one here as well. The Nestle photo I found online.
Oh, I never even knew that no-name had a condensed milk - for some reason Nestle is intrinsically(sp?) linked in my mind.
lol - my word verefication is "penced" which I find hilarious, as it is to do so much with your topic - whether you are minding the "pence" or "pensive" about the fudge!
By the way - an award for you at mine.
I've used the no name brand in a few cheesecake recipes and it works great, but haven't tried it for making caramel.
