Bailey's Irish Creme Knock-off

Ingredients:
1 - 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 can brandy/ rum/ or any combination of the two*
1 T Hershey's syrup
1 T vanilla
1 can regular milk

Directions:
Blend well and chill overnight.
Store in the refrigerator.
Makes approx. 3 cups.

I use the can as my measuring cup... helps get all the condensed milk out and just one less thing to have to clean..

Wow! I date my recipes when I write them down and I've had this one for 20 years!

*Actually made a non-alcoholic version once for a friend who doesn't drink... substitute the booze with 1 T rum extract and a half can of water. Not as good as the real thing, but close...

Also... posted this elsewhere and had a friend respond that she made it with Irish whiskey ~ thumps self on forehead! lol ~ of course! That would be perfect. I just keep the cheaper stuff on hand, tho, and it works *very* well, too.
