Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
Instructions
- Over medium-low heat, melt the butter and brown sugar and a medium saucepan.
- Add the sweetened condensed and corn syrup.
- While the sauce thickens over the next 5-7 minutes, continue to gently whisk the mixture until it thickens and the sugar melts.
- Take it off the heat, allow it to cool a bit. It will thicken as it cools too.
Notes
- Make it ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container and leave it in the refrigerator for 1 month. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. If you're gifting it, it can stay out for 1 day.
- Never leave the sauce unattended. It can quickly burn, so you want to watch it closely as it's cooking.
- For salted caramel sauce use salted butter.
