Caramel Sauce


I met this girl, Holly, in my ward last Sunday. She is absolutely fabulous and she has a food blog as well ... Becoming Betty!!! ... In addition to the fact that we both have food blogs, we have such similar things on our blogs so I know that I will like everything I make from her blog (which has been true thus far). I made this caramel sauce from her blog and it was just as good as she said! It is even better the second day, if it lasts...

Ingredients
1 cube butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup half and half
Dash of salt
1 tablespoon vanilla

Directions
1. Heat the butter, brown sugar, half and half, and salt on medium/low heat, stirring constantly.
2. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until it begins to thicken (Remember that the sauce will thicken as it cools. To test the caramel's thickness, place a tiny bit of the caramel into a glass of cold water.)
3. Place in the fridge for a few minutes to set and then serve over ice cream.

This also makes frosting. Add some of this to your choice of vanilla frosting to make caramel frosting.

  1. This looks yummy. Can't wait to make it. How much butter is 1 cube or did you mean 1 cup?
