Instructions

Combine sugar, cream, 4 tablespoons of butter, salt, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until large bubbles burst on the surface of the sauce, about 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla and the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter until fully combined, about 1 minute.
Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let it cool for 30 minutes (the sauce will thicken as it cools).
Serve the sauce. It can be refrigerated for up to 1 week and reheated in the microwave before serving.
