How to Make Rum Toffee Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Reduce heat to low, and stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1 tablespoon dark rum (or vanilla extract).
  5. Simmer for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
