1 cup granulated sugar

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Let the caramel cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in the microwave or over a double boiler.
