How to Make Wet Nuts Ice Cream Topping

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup milk.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or your favorite!).
  5. Allow the mixture to cool completely before serving. For a crunchier topping, toast the nuts in a 350ºF (175ºC) oven for 5-7 minutes before adding them to the cooled mixture.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.
