• Step 1 Attach candy thermometer to medium heavy saucepot over medium heat. Add butter to pot. Using wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula, stir until butter is melted. Add brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to full boil. Using pastry brush dipped in cold water, brush off any sugar mixture stuck to sides of pan. Stir in cream of coconut. Return mixture to boil.
