What Your Frugal Friends Are Saying About This Recipe:

Angie writes: “Great! Will definitely make again.”

Elizabeth writes: “I’ve done this and it was sooo good!!”

Samantha writes: “This worked out really well over the holidays with granny smith apple slices.  Made it the day before serving, and stored in fridge. Will do this again!”

Brenda writes: “It is so good, and easy.”

Nancy writes: “Just did this last night and this morning chilled and tasted…absolutely AMAZING!”

Jan writes: “These make great Christmas gifts”

Elizabeth writes: “I take 2, let them cool, then use them when making caramel pie.”

Sam writes: “They make a great topping poured over bread pudding, too.”

Debbie writes: “This is a favorite in Belize. Try it on a moist chocolate cake……delectable.”

Judy writes: “Been doing it this way forever.  My crock is big enough to hold 6 of the 8 oz jelly jars.  You can also freeze the sauce should you happen to have any leftover….”

Donna writes: “You can also just put the can in boiling water for two hours and have the same thing. I learned it from another chef when catering.”

Sarah writes: “I’ve made it on the stove before. Just put whole cans of sweetened condensed milk in a large pan, cover with water, & simmer for 3 hours. The crockpot option is more set it & forget it because you don’t need to check it or worry about having something on the stove for so long.”

Chere writes: “Soooo good. I did this at Christmas for gifts but did it on stove top”

    Sounds amazing! Would it work and be safe to add salt? Enough to make it taste like salted caramel? Love the simplicity of this, esp. with the slow cooker. But I’m hoping to make the salted kind and can’t find any recipes as simple as this with salt.

    Is it wrong that I am totally drooling all over my computer! This sauce looks so amazing and creamy. I also love how it’s made in a crockpot for ultimate ease!

      You’re right, Christie… the slow cooker makes it just SO easy to make your own caramel sauce at home! And drooling is totally acceptable… it really does have that effect! 🙂

    Heidi, am so glad i found a Dulche De Leche recipe that uses the fabulous crockpot and at the same time does not use the tin to cook the condensed milk in.
    Am so trying it out over the weekend.
    Thanks so very much ☺
