Ingredients

Scale

Caramel Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 2 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/8 cup cinnamon whiskey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Optional

  • Red hot candies (for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a large saucepan, melt 1 cup of salted butter over medium heat until completely liquefied.
  2. Add Ingredients: Add 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup light corn syrup, and 2 1/4 cups brown sugar to the melted butter. Stir the mixture continuously using a whisk or rubber spatula to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Simmer Mixture: Continue stirring the mixture over medium heat, scraping the sides and bottom of the saucepan regularly to prevent burning or sticking. Allow it to reach a gentle simmer.
  4. Cook to Temperature: Let the sauce simmer until it reaches a temperature between 200-205°F (93-96°C). This ensures the sugar crystallizes correctly for the perfect caramel consistency without being overly thick.
  5. Add Flavorings: Once the target temperature is reached, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 cup cinnamon whiskey, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix everything well for about one minute to blend flavors evenly.
  6. Cool Sauce: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the sauce cool before proceeding to the next step to avoid burns and ensure it thickens correctly.
  7. Store Sauce: Transfer the cooled caramel sauce into jars or airtight containers. Optionally, add red hot candies for a spicy cinnamon kick and extra texture.
  8. Shelf Life: The sauce is shelf-stable and can be stored at room temperature for up to one month, making it convenient for future use.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature for perfect caramel consistency.
  • Pot stirring is essential to avoid burning or sticking during simmering.
  • Cinnamon whiskey can be substituted with any cinnamon-flavored liqueur or omitted for a milder flavor.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness.
  • Reheat gently before use if the sauce thickens too much during storage.
