Homemade Caramel Sauce
This Homemade Caramel Sauce is a great staple recipe. It is perfect for a variety of recipes; from topping, filling and everything in between this will serve as a regular in your home!
The holidays are fast approaching and I am so excited and ready! I love this time of year for SO many different reasons, one of them being the FOOD!
I can’t tell you how many times I need a good caramel sauce in my baking particularly my holiday baking. And NOTHING beats homemade. There is a serious taste difference between store bought and homemade caramel and once you try homemade, there is simply no going back. And the great thing about this recipe is that the leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of weeks!
