Autumn has arrived and here is a super simple caramel sauce. I LOVE making this sauce especially around the holiday season. What’s better than a homemade liquid gold to drizzle in your coffee, over specialty desserts, breads and more?! It may sound complex, but this style of caramel sauce you can not go wrong. So much easier than you think.

 

Why buy store bought when you can easily make this at home?! You only need a few ingredients, no thermometer needed, and oh so velvety.

 

With this recipe you are basically melting the ingredients, bringing it up to a boil, and letting it cool. You only need unsalted butter, brown sugar and cream. You may, however, add in flavoring or spices for punch of holiday flair. When made from home it is easily customizable to your liking of taste and texture.
