Crock Pot Dulce de Leche

I grew up calling dulce de leche arequipe because that's what Colombians call dulce de leche. I used to eat it straight out of the little container or on a cookie similar to a pizzelle. It was always a treat to have arequipe in our house because the sugary goodness was not cheap and it definitely was not a necessity. I have always wanted to try to make dulce de leche but I didn't have the energy or desire to cook it on the stove top.  When I cam across this recipe I jumped for joy. All you do is stick a can of condensed milk in a slow cooker filled with water and a few hours later you have caramel gold. This is a lot cheaper than buying the pre-made dulce de leche.
