How to Make Caramel Sauce In Crockpot Super Easy

  1. Remove the label from one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.
  2. Place the can of sweetened condensed milk in a 3.5-4.5 quart slow cooker.
  3. Carefully pour enough water into the slow cooker to completely submerge the can. The water level should be approximately 1/4 inch above the top of the can.
  4. Secure the lid on the slow cooker.
  5. Cook on high for 3.5-4.5 hours, or until the caramel reaches your desired consistency. (Note: Crockpots vary; monitor closely.)
  6. Carefully remove the can from the slow cooker using tongs. Allow the can to cool until it's warm to the touch but not hot (to prevent exploding!).
  7. Open the can carefully and pour the caramel sauce into a bowl with a tight-fitting lid.
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  9. Your delicious caramel sauce is ready for dipping!
  10. Store leftover sauce in the refrigerator.
