2 ts Vanilla extract
(or 2 split vanilla beans
-with seeds

1 c Half-and-half

Heat sugar, corn syrup and vanilla bean seeds (not vanilla extract if
using) in heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until sugar has
dissolved and is caramelized to a rust color, about 10 minutes. As soon as
sugar caramelizes, remove from heat and add half-and-half and vanilla

will bubble up fiercely. Return to medium heat and stir until mixture is
smooth. Whisk in white chocolate until thoroughly incorporated. Serve warm
or at room temperature. Yields 2 cups.
