Well, it reminds me of the candy you would get in the Monterrey House basket back in the day. That candy was pretty similar to pralines but thicker and softer, looking a bit like a caramel colored fudge.
I read about this not too long ago. The company that made it was called La Colmena. There's a recipe online for this candy, called leche quemada. Linking here along with a story about the Monterrey House candy. So, there's definitely a connection ingredient-wise!
