Here’s an idea I have been wanting to try ever since I saw it on Kayla’s blog last year around this time: homemade caramel dip! I was amazed that you can make this great treat right in the can without ever even opening it . You just remove the labels from some cans of sweetened condensed milk, put them into a deep pot, and completely cover them with water, then boil them for three hours (adding water when needed). The milk turns into a caramel-y type sauce – who knew?? But I learned after the fact that it can be dangerous because the cans will exploded if the water level drops below the tops of the cans! Good thing I remembered to keep adding water !!! Despite the risk, I will be making more of these – I tested some, and it is YUMMY!
Here’s a gift basket idea: Decorate cans of homemade caramel dip (I used printed papers from Chrstmas Heart), add some apples, candies and bags of nuts and you have a sweet gift to be enjoyed by all … I hope

Wow! What a cool idea! Thanks for sharing!
Oh so adorable! Too bad we don’t get condensed milk here like that! You are soooo creative
Hi Jess
I made this last year right after Kayla put it on her blog and yes it is YUMMY! Everyone went crazy over it too!
LOVE your packaging!!
Hey Jess–I love this idea! Those are sooo pretty!
oh! dulce de leche! we put this in home made banoffee pie. yummy!
You can also put the sweetened condensed milk in mason jars. They’ll need to be refrigerated, but you don’t have to worry about explosions or the plastic lining leeching into your caramel sauce.
