Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (14 oz each) Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional for salted caramel)
Instructions
1. Prepare your crock pot by lightly greasing the inner pot with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
2. Add sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, brown sugar, and light corn syrup into the crock pot.
3. Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.
4. Set the crock pot to low heat and cover with the lid.
5. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to ensure even consistency and to prevent any burning or sticking.
6. After 2 hours, stir in the vanilla extract. If making salted caramel, also add the sea salt at this step.
7. Continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes to fully incorporate the vanilla (and salt, if added).
8. Turn off the crock pot and let the caramel dip cool slightly before serving. The dip will thicken as it cools.
9. Serve warm as a dip for apples, pretzels, or marshmallows, or drizzle over your favorite desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving.
