This is absolutely wonderful, creamy and rich. It makes a very thick caramel after it cools. I’ve used it to frost cupcakes, as a cake filling and to dip apples! Delicious!

Thick Caramel Sauce or Filling

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (do not substitute)
    2 cups packed brown sugar
    1 cup light corn syrup
    1 can sweetened condensed milk
    2 tablespoons whipping cream
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    In a heavy saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring. Carefully stir in whipping cream. Attach a candy thermometer to your pan. Continue to stir until the caramel reaches 238 degrees, or the soft ball stage. Remove from heat and add vanilla and salt.
