Step 1
Put sugar and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan. Heat on medium high. Stir until the mixture boils, then stop stirring. When the mixture turns from clear to yellow, start stirring again. Watch the color carefully. It will turn golden brown and then start to darken, but watch carefully. Stir until the mixture is a bit darker than you want, because when you add cream and butter it will lighten it up a bit. When it reaches the desired color, take it off the heat.
Step 2
Add the cream all at once. BE VERY CAREFUL! The solution will bubble up to about twice the original size and give off a lot of steam. After stirring in the cream in, add the butter and mix.
Step 3
If you want the alcohol to burn off, add the Kahlua while the caramel sauce is still hot. If you want more alcohol left in the sauce, wait until the sauce is lukewarm to add the Kahlua.
Step 4
Let cool completely. Refrigerate.
