Caramel Walnut Ice Cream Topping

Scatter the nuts onto a baking sheet and toast in a 350ºF oven for about 5 minutes.

To a saucepan, add the corn syrup, brown sugar, butter and milk. Bring to a simmer on medium heat, stirring often. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is well mixed and smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and nuts.

Once cool, transfer the mixture to a large jar.

Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, but keep refrigerated when not indulging.
