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)
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare your crock pot by lightly greasing the inner pot with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
2. Add sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, brown sugar, and light corn syrup into the crock pot.
Step 3
3. Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
4. Set the crock pot to low heat and cover with the lid.
Step 5
5. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to ensure even consistency and to prevent any burning or sticking.
Step 6
6. After 2 hours, stir in the vanilla extract. If making salted caramel, also add the sea salt at this step.
Step 7
7. Continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes to fully incorporate the vanilla (and salt, if added).
Step 8
8. Turn off the crock pot and let the caramel dip cool slightly before serving. The dip will thicken as it cools.
