Can evaporated milk be used instead of cream in a chocolate candy recipe?

No, evaporated milk cannot be used instead of cream in a chocolate candy recipe.

Reasons:

- Evaporated milk is a dairy product made by heating cow's milk to remove about 60% of its water content. It has a thicker consistency than whole milk but is still much thinner than cream.

- Cream, on the other hand, is the high-fat portion of milk that rises to the top when milk is left undisturbed. It contains a much higher percentage of fat than evaporated milk, usually between 18% and 36%.

- Chocolate candies made with evaporated milk instead of cream would likely be much thinner and lack the rich, creamy flavour and texture that cream provides.
