Amazing to see this!
I knew a lady from Venezuela about ten years ago, who taught me this same thing. After the caramel was done, she spread it on baked pie crust, and it was wonderful!
I’ve never tried it, because I was afraid that the cans would explode; but I’m going to try it, on a day when I have time to watch it.
She called it “Wonderfulness!”
Thanks very much :-)

Heaven on earth. My friend’s mom would take 6 slices of white bread and ‘stale’ them open air in a cabinet, then toast the bread and smear the dark caramel all over. You can also caramelize the cans near coals in the fireplace, but when the cans blow it.s pure shrapnel so best controlled in a covered stock pot.
Or if you’re like me and are easily distracted, you can make Dulche de Leche in the Crock Pot, and save the walls!
Crock Pot Dulce de Leche
Open 2 - 14 oz. cans of sweetened condensed milk and pour into three half pint canning jars, dividing evenly. Put on lids and rings.
Place jars into a crock pot.
Fill crock pot with water so that it covers the top of the jars.
Turn crock pot onto low and set timer for 10 hours.
After 10 hours and remove jars from crock pot.
Open the lid and grab a spoon!
