Homemade Caramel Dip

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1 1/2 cups brown sugar (dark is the best!)

3/4 cup light corn syrup

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. In a 2 qt. saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

2. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, and milk. Stirring to combine. Increase heat to medium or just below medium.

3. Stir constantly until mixtures starts to boil. Use a spoon that doesn't melt!

4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

5. Serve warm or cool with apples or drizzle over ice cream.

Makes about 3 1/2 cups

Additional notes: For a thinner caramel, cook and stir mixture just until sugar completely dissolves.

Store extra caramel dip in the refrigerator. Microwave for a few seconds to soften before dipping.
