Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) butter
- 2 cups of dark brown sugar
- 1 can (397 grams) condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare a 20 x 20 cm square baking pan, grease it, and cover it with parchment paper.
- Mix the condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar in a medium pot. Add a pinch of salt and cinnamon or vanilla if desired.
- Cook, stirring over medium heat, until all the sugar dissolves. Let it simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- To test if it is ready, place ice and water in a bowl and put a teaspoon of the mixture in it. Drain the water and see if you can make a ball with the mixture. If you can, it is ready. Turn off the heat.
- If not, cook for 5 more minutes and test again.
- In the same pot, beat with an electric mixer for 5 minutes at medium speed.
- Pour into the baking pan and spread quickly.
- Let it cool and refrigerate for an hour before cutting it into 20 pieces and serving.
- It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
