- 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄4 cup light brown sugar

- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 tsp. fine salt

DIRECTIONS
Heat butter, corn syrup, and 1⁄4 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until butter has melted.
Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar; scrape down sides of pan with a rubber spatula. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, without stirring. Cook until light brown and a candy thermometer inserted in sauce reads 245°, 6–8 minutes.
