To make the brown sugar and butter syrup:
-In a small frying pan or pot on the stove, add the syrup ingredients and heat on medium-high heat, whisking to combine. Once it starts simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 3-5 minutes stirring frequently, until sugar has completely dissolved and syrup has thickened just slightly. Remove from the heat and let it cool for about 1 hour.
