  • 1/2 cup Fireball Whisky Feel free to use a different whisky for varied flavors.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Remember to melt it before mixing for a smooth blend.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Any pure vanilla or vanilla bean paste works perfectly.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the crockpot by spraying the inside with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, Fireball Whisky, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth.
