Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Cut butter into evenly sized cubes and melt over low heat in large 3-4 quart saucepan.
Once butter is fully melted, add brown sugar, being careful to avoid the sides of the pan. If any stray sugar crystals fall onto side of pan, carefully brush off with a wet pastry brush.
Once butter and sugar are fully combined, add corn syrup and condensed milk. Clip on candy thermometer to side of pan.
Cook mixture on low heat (still continually stirring) for about a minute or two. Increase heat to medium and continue to cook/ stir until mixture reaches 225 degrees. Once the mixture is removed from heat, stir in vanilla extract.
