I am SO doing a ridiculous happy dance right now because I’ve been dying to share this recipe with you for the past few weeks. Caramel sauce makes me childishly giddy any day of the week but this particular recipe… I’m sort of obsessed with it. Caution: this homemade caramel sauce is known to have addictive properties. #butforreals First of all, it’s so EASY. Like…. who knew that homemade caramel sauce could be so easy? It takes less than 15 minutes to make and you’ll end up with a whole jar full of this amazing stuff to use any way your little heart desires. Secondly, it TASTES incredible. Sooooo much better than any bottled store-bought caramel sauce I’ve ever tried (yes, that includes you Smuckers. sorry-not-sorry.). And the TEXTURE you guys…. out of this world perfect. Silky, smooth, buttery dreamy caramel sauce goodness. I’ve had some homemade caramel sauces that were too thick or grainy or a too runny, but this stuff takes the cake. In my humble caramel sauce loving opinion, it’s pretty much flawless. Another great thing about this sauce? You can make it unsalted, or salted. I absolutely adore salted caramel sauce so I definitely encourage you to add that sea salt, but sometimes I really crave some good old fashioned non-salted caramel sauce so if you feel like leaving it out, I totally get it. And don’t get stuck in the caramel-sauce-is-only-for-topping-ice-cream rut (although, seriously, put this stuff on some vanilla ice cream, it will blow your mind) because this sauce works for allll sorts of things. If you’re drawing a blank here, don’t worry, I’ve got several incredible recipes for using it coming very very soon! Adapted from American Heritage Cooking
