Made of goat milk, pecans, and sugar, this candy is representative of our traditions in Monterrey and the sorrounding towns. Glorias started many years ago as a family recipe, handed down from Mother to Daughter and so on, until it became so popular that they began to produce them to sell them in stores and restaurants.
Our milk candy is well known by locals and visitors. There are different presentations of this delicious Mexican candy, Glorias, Natillas, Bolitas de Leche, Obleas, Besos Indios, and many others which are made with the same main ingredients.
This like homemade candy is manufactured in the nearby town of Linares, Nuevo León. Their excellent quality and great taste have made this candy famous and it is actually exported to other countries. All the different presentations of these products are wrapped individually and packed in their bag.
Dulce de Leche (milk candy) can be made at home by boiling the goat milk for a long period of time and adding the sugar very slowly as the milk thickens and starts getting a brownish color. The secret to this homemade candy is to not let it stick to the pan as the milk boils. You have to be stirring the milk with a wood spoon all the time it is boiling, and believe me, your arm can get really tired of stirring. It can take several hours to be ready depending on the amount of milk you pour in your pan.

Hi! recently someone gave me this candy - Glorias Linares, and this was the BEST candy I have ever had! I would love to know how to make this, because I looked around here, and can't find it anywhere. The recipe you have given here, is that the way to make this candy?
Hey Swati, I know it´s been a long time since you commented on my post but as I haven´t written anything new I never check it out for comments, I am very sorry. Yes, that´s the homemade recipe, (I hav tried it myself) however, I don´t know if they (the business) have a special machine or something else to produce big amounts of dulce de leche. Tahnk you for visiting. I will try to keep adding more content to this blog because I have a lot of material, but what I need is more time. Greetings from México...
