In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, white sugar, and sweetened condensed milk.
Stir to mix completely.
Microwave for 90 seconds at half power. (My microwave is 1600 watts- If your is 1000 watts you can microwave on full power)
Remove from the microwave (with hot pads as the bowl will be very hot) and stir making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Return to the microwave and cook for another 90 seconds at half power (depending on your wattage).
Remove from the microwave (with hot pads as the bowl will be very hot) and stir making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Continue this for two more cycles for a total cooking time of 6 minutes.
At the end of the 6 minute cook time, add the amaretto and stir to combine again. This part may bubble up so be careful!
