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”
Annette writes: “After making the sauce, I have made pies with it. After sauce has cooled in the fridge, pour it in a graham cracker crust, then top with cool whip and crushed up Heath candy bars. Very rich but good.”

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.
Heidi says
Hi Britney ~ I honestly haven’t tried adding salt, but if you do… let me know how it turns out!
delphine says

Merci beaucoup, Delphine! Belle soirée 🙂
Christie says
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!
Heidi says
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! 🙂
Cheryl says
Can you use homemade sweetened condensed milk to make crockpot caramel sauce
Heidi says
Hi Cheryl ~ I honestly haven’t ever tried, but if you do… let us know how it turns out!
priya says
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 ☺
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Priya… it’s so easy to make and SO delicious. ENJOY!! 🙂
