Crockpot Dulce De Leche is a sweet and creamy dessert that originated in Latin America. It is similar to caramel but has a deeper, more complex flavor. This recipe is easy to make and requires only two ingredients - sweetened condensed milk and water. Simply put the condensed milk in a glass jar, cover it with aluminum foil, and cook it in a crockpot for 8 hours. Once it's cooled, stir in the remaining ingredients and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The result is a rich, velvety treat that can be used in a variety of desserts like cakes, cookies, and ice cream toppings.

Instructions

1.	Empty the sweetened condensed milk cans into a heatproof glass jar.
2.	Cover the jar tightly with aluminum foil.
3.	Add enough water to the crockpot to reach the halfway point.
4.	Put the jar filled with sweetened condensed milk into the crockpot.
5.	Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook the sweetened condensed milk on low heat for 8 hours.
6.	Turn off the crockpot and let the jar cool for a couple of hours.
7.	Open the jar and stir the dulce de leche until smooth.
8.	Store the dulce de leche in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
