It was one of those Sundays when the craving for sweets had me rummaging the fridge. There were no sweets but I found a can of condensed milk. I racked my head for a non-cumbersome recipe. Then just like a jig-saw puzzle, the condensed milk, desiccated coconut, Glucose biscuits, and Bournvita fit into a perfect solution. I had seen the recipe in one of the cookery shows on television around 15 years back. I had made while in school and I remember the shower of praises that followed. It does not require the use of cooking gas. I also make it for Diwali and it stands out as a very non-traditional sweet in the spread. I call it the Choco- Coco rolls
