what can I use for liquid instead of sweetened condensed milk? Product has texture of a fruit & nut bar

Brown rice syrup?

You’d need to tell us what your objections are to sweetened condensed milk. Is it lactose? Something else?

The reason I ask is because a substitute might be heavy cream and some added sugar...unless you don’t want lactose.

We need some details to provide a meaningful answer.
