Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you're aiming for a gluten-free treat, always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free, as products and ingredient sources can change.
  • tip 2
    Be sure to use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk.
  • tip 3
    No baking pans with sides? Line 2 large cookie sheets with heavy duty foil and fold up all the edges so the mix doesn’t slide off.
