Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup corn syrup
- 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4 pieces apples (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and corn syrup. Stir until the sugars dissolve and the mixture is well combined.
Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly and reaches a temperature of about 220°F (105°C) on a candy thermometer. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Allow the taffy dip to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. It should still be warm and gooey but not too hot to serve.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately alongside sliced apples or your favorite dipping fruits.
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
