Oh this is sooo good! I love that it had stuff that I already had in my pantry and didn't require unwrapping and melting 40,000 of those expensive store bought caramels. This will definitely be a regular staple at our house and I think I may pack a few for gifts over the holidays (with a note to keep it refridgerated).

Outstanding! I live in Washington... apple country... and always have tons of them given to us in the Fall. I love the caramel dip in the stores, but it's so expensive. So, I decided to try this. I used margarine instead of butter (it was all I had on hand), and put in the pan cold. I added the brown sugar (used just shy of the 1 1/2 cups), milk, and corn syrup. I set my stove to med-low, and mixed. I let the margarine melt into the mix slowly, and just stirred pretty consistently. Once the margarine was melted in, the sugar LOOKED incorporated, but I tasted it, and it was gritty in texture. I kept on stirring, and tasted occasionally. After about 15 minutes (from start), the mixture was silky smooth. I dirtied several spoons, but it was worth it! This is wonderful. It filled a 4 Cup bowl.

I loved that this didn't call for cream cheese like most others (since I was out!). I took LonghornMama's advice and used 1/2 cup corn syrup and it was perfect. I cooked on very low for about 25 min. to get it completely "grain-free." This was great the next day, too. Thanks Sue, for posting. Roxygirl
