  • Combine the corn syrup and the brown sugar in a medium sauce pan and heat over medium heat;. Cook until the mixture starts to just lightly boil.
  • Add the butter and stir until melted.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, stir to combine, and bring to a light boil, stirring very often. Once the mixture comes to a boil, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
