Buttery Caramel Sauce


For those of you who "like" me on Facebook, you know that recently I messed up a recipe and yet it still turned out well.  This was that recipe.  I suggest you follow the correct instructions below, but on the off chance that you don't, it might still turn out well.

The flavor is out of this world.  I truly love it's classic caramel taste and texture.  Very smooth and delicious on top of apples, or ice cream, or when licked off your finger.

If you let the caramel warm up to room temperature it becomes soft and somewhat pourable.  You might need to microwave it for a couple of seconds to get the consistency you want.  I'll be making this recipe again for sure.  It's my new "go to" caramel recipe. :)
