I’m all in on treats that are REAL, and this Slow Cooker Condensed Milk Caramel (Dulce de Leche) sure fits that bill.

Here’s how to make a batch:

Line your slow cooker with some parchment paper and place your sealed condensed milk tins. Cover with water and pop the slow cooker lid on.

If you’d prefer not to cook it in the tin, you can pour the milk into a heat-proof mug and cover it with a heat proof lid. Pop the water just up to the rim.

When it’s finished cooking and is cold, pull it out of the water and let sit before opening.

Here’s a few ways to eat it:

1. In the middle of a cookie sandwich

2. In a banoffee pie

3. On top of a slice

4. In the middle of cake

5. With apple slices

6. Blended into a milkshake

7. Caramel choc-chip cookies

8. Caramel brownies

9. Caramel fudge

10. Melted through popcorn

1. Pop something on the base of your cooker to protect it, I used baking paper.
2. Put your two full-fat condensed milk containers in the cooker and cover with water by at least 1cm.
3. If you’d rather not cook in the tin, pour them into an oven-proof mug and pop a lid on top. Put the water up to just under the rim of the mug.
