Growing up in NY/NJ my SO and I occasionally pine for Wet Nuts. I know I can buy the little bottles near the ice cream toppings but they aren't really very good and don't really satisfy our longing. I've been thinking about surprising him with some homemade...and came across this recipe but I'm a little confused. I would never have imagined the Milk in the mix.
