Caramel Dip Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: Butter delivers a rich, creamy texture and a delightful flavor to the caramel. It helps bind other ingredients and creates a smooth consistency. Using unsalted variety allows you to control the sodium content in your recipe.
- Brown sugar is key to the sweet, molasses-like flavor profile that is signature to caramel. Its moisture content helps to keep the caramel soft and chewy. The term 'packed' means the sugar should be pressed into the measuring cup, increasing its density in the recipe.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This ingredient is sweet, creamy, and thick. It contributes to the caramel's velvety texture and sweet taste. In heating, condensed milk thickens and takes on a fudgy, caramelized flavor which enhances the overall taste of the caramel.
- Light Corn Syrup: Corn syrup prevents crystallization, ensuring the caramel remains smooth and glossy. It also introduces a subtle sweetness that doesn't overpower the flavors brought by the brown sugar and condensed milk. Light corn syrup is used in this recipe to maintain the desired color of the caramel.
Crock Pot Caramel Dip Directions
- Step 1: Begin by melting the butter in a 2.5-quart slow cooker set to high.
- Step 2: Add the brown sugar and stir until it fully blends with the melted butter. Lower the temperature to the low setting.
- Step 3: Pour condensed milk and corn syrup into the slow cooker, stirring until everything is well mixed.
- Step 4: Keep the slow cooker on low heat for about 1 hour, making sure to stir occasionally until the mixture thickens. Do not over cook or the caramel will burn.
- Step 5: After the caramel mixture has thickened, turn the crock pot off or turn the warming setting on if you're planning to serve the caramel sauce from the slow cooker.
- Step 6: If serving at a later time turn the slow cooker off and allow the caramel dip to cool before transferring into an airtight container.
Enjoy this treat with slices of apples, strawberries, or bananas.
Any leftover caramel can be stored in a covered container and refrigerated.

📌Pro Cooking Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Quality ingredients make a significant difference in the final taste of your caramel dip. Always opt for fresh and high-quality butter, brown sugar, condensed milk, and corn syrup.
- Stir Regularly: Although it's tempting to set and forget your slow cooker, ensure to stir the mixture regularly. This helps to evenly distribute heat and prevent the caramel from burning at the bottom.
- Use a Slow Cooker Liner: Cleaning caramel from your slow cooker can be a sticky situation. Using a slow cooker liner can make cleanup much easier, and won’t affect the taste or consistency of the caramel.
- Cool Down: Allow the caramel to cool a little before serving. It will thicken as it cools, providing the perfect consistency for dipping.
- Store Properly: If you have leftovers, store your caramel in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to two weeks. Simply reheat it in the microwave or in a water bath on the stove when you're ready to use it again.
Recipe FAQS
