Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
Instructions
- Melt the butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan on low heat. Never bring this mixture to a boil, or it will curdle - always low heat.
- Then, add in the sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup.
- While the sauce thickens, use a whisk to mix until it thickens and the sugar melts gently. Scrape the sides of the pot, too. Please pay close attention to the texture of the caramel as it simmers.
- Lastly, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool a bit.
- Let it sit in the refrigerator to thicken.
