Question: Is condensed milk the same as sweetened condensed milk? 

I have a fudge recipe that calls for condensed milk and I can not find strictly condensed milk, only sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk.

Answer: 
I've found when I run across the phrase "condensed milk" vs. the more specific "sweetened condensed milk," the recipe has its origins in the UK, such as in this recipe: <http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Banoffee-Pie-Classic>. First, look for clues in the recipe: it's not likely 1/2 cup of brown sugar would create a sufficiently sweet toffee layer, although I'm sure that could be argued by people with a less sweet tooth than mine. Next, look up similar recipes. I looked up other banoffee pie recipes and each US based site referenced *sweetened* condensed milk. Finally, this UK site for the Carnation brand product seems to verify it is indeed what we (in the US) call sweetened condensed milk. Check this out:

Hope that helps.
No, the two products are different. As the names imply:

* *Condensed milk* is strictly reduced milk
* *Sweetened condensed milk* is reduced milk with considerable sugar added

See [Can evaporated milk be converted to sweetened condensed?](https://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/4600/can-evaporated-milk-be-converted-to-sweetened-condensed) You can easily modify the condensed milk with additional sugar.
