I put them back in :-P they got MUCH browner today... they were in for probably another 7 hours on high (I forgot they were in there... oops!!) so hopefully it's "spoonable" after it cools off, cause it was PRET-TY thick when it was warm still (but delicious) next time: hot (for my crockpot) and NO PEEKING!! ;)]]> comfortablydomestic.

I like the way you think, Betsy! I think the idea of switching between peppermint and dulce de leche coffee creamers is fabulous. I'd have to agree that all of the "peeking" during the caramelization process is likely what kept your dulce de leche from reaching a darker hue. Every time you lift the lid, all of the heat that has built up in the crock disperses, and your slow cooker has to work that much harder/longer to build up the same level of heat again. I would try to put them back in the crock for a little longer until it reaches your desired color. The "simmering" water never really comes to boiling, but so long as you have steam, you should be fine. I'd also double check the that water is to the level outlined in the recipe--then no peeking! ;)]]> Betsy H.. I like the way you think, Betsy!
