By Marian Blazes, About.com Guide

Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

Remove cinnamon sticks and stir in the vanilla and the corn syrup.

Let cool completely.

Serving Suggestions:

Dulce de leche is delicious by itself, as a topping for ice cream, spread between cake layers, or even spread on toast. It's the filling for the popular sandwich cookies alfajores. Try the chocolate variation, which is made by folding melted chocolate into the dulce de leche, and use it to fill chocolate alfajores.
