What’s that? Silky, smooth, sweet, dense, fudgy, you can eat it hot or cold, on ice cream, fill cupcakes with it or just with a spoon from the jar. Caramel Sauce!!!

The perfect Christmas gift to anybody who loves caramel. It’s really easy to make and you can customize it however you want to. You can add salt, cinnamon, vanilla, coffee, coconut!

I have to say that this is a really good and quick recipe, and it worked every time. But I have tried a lot of recipes before and some of them didn’t work for me, lot of the time the sugar started to crystalize and it’s the most annoying thing about doing caramel sauce. The recipes say don’t use a spoon or a spatula to stir the sugar when it’s caramelizing. For the first few minutes I would recommend not using anything but if it starts to crystalize, I just go for it and with a wooden spoon I stir until it gets amber coloured.

This is my tip. It might not be the most professional way but for me this works perfectly so give it a try if you have thrown away a ton of cristalized sugar instead of having a delicious caramel sauce.

Make it a few days ahead then you can store it in an air tight container until the gift giving.

You can put it into any kind of jars or containers and decorate them with ribbons, bows, cards, pine branches or cones, or a tiny spoon would be really cute on the side of the jar.

3. Add the butter and stir until its melted.

4. Remove it from the heat and add the cream. Be carefull when you add it because it bubbles up and it’s really hot!

5. Put it back for one minute to the stove.

6. Remove it and stir in the salt. Let it cool down completly! I can’t say enough that it’s extremly hot so DON’T TRY it until it’s not cold enough
