Here's another idea that I saw on Pinterest and just HAD to try! I couldn't believe it! You can make a whole can of fresh warm deliciousness for around a dollar?? YES!
I've read about two different ways that you can go about making this. Both include a can of sweetened condensed milk. The first way is to boil the can, unopened, and completely submerged in a pot of water for 2-3 hours. The 2nd was to submerge, (in water), in a crockpot for 8-10 hours on low.
I chose to try the latter.

After about 8.5 hours in the crockpot I took it out and let it cool at room temp for about 2 hours. I was a little disappointed when I first opened the can because I was expecting a dark thick caramel. This was more of a tan colored, creamy, caramel wanna-be. I stuck it in a bowl and microwaved it for one minute. (Be careful that it doesn't boil over). Here's what I got:

Mmm Mmm! Perfect for an ice cream topping.
Looking back, I think I should have heated it on "high" or let it cook longer, then I could have skipped the additional step. Next time I might try the stovetop method.
If you've got a can of this stuff in your pantry, give it a try!
