    Add 1 cup of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and a pinch of salt to the melted butter. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Optional Spices

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Mixture

    Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. 7

    Add Nuts (Optional)

  4. 8
