  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Allow it to boil for 4-5 minutes without stirring. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up.
