Wasn't exactly sure if this recipe was calling for evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk, but what with the sugar & Karo syrup, I used evaporated milk! Also used toasted pecans & everything seemed to come together without any problems! Very nice! [Tagged, made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block]
