Instructions
-
Remove the label and any adhesive from an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk.
-
Place the can in a large saucepan, ensuring it is several inches taller than the can, then cover the can completely with water.
-
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then cover and continue boiling for 8 hours, checking every 30 minutes and adding water as needed to keep the can fully submerged.
-
Carefully remove the hot can with tongs and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
-
Once chilled, open both ends of the can and gently push out the solidified caramel.
-
Slice the caramel cylinder into rounds, then cut each round into 6 wedges.
-
For added crunch, roll pieces in chopped nuts, crushed toffee, or shredded coconut; otherwise, place in individual candy papers for serving.
