In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, heavy cream, butter and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar has dissolved.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and continue to cook, stirring as the mixture bubbles, for about 4 minutes. Make sure you stir the bottom of the pan so it does not burn. The mixture is done when it is thick enough to coat the spoon.
Remove from heat and stir in the pecan butter, condensed milk and salt.
Make the Maple Pecan Latte
Mix 2-3 tablespoons of the Maple Pecan Sauce with 2 shots of espresso.
Top with steamed and foamed milk. If you don't have a dedicated milk steamer machine, I always get great results with my milk frother wand.
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pecans.
