Take a non-stick sauce pan and melt ¾ cup butter in it. Make sure the heat is medium high (high heat will burn the butter).

When the butter has melted, add one cup of brown sugar to it and cook for a couple of minutes, or until it has completely melted into the butter. Stir continuously when cooking brown sugar in the butter.
