Quick Homemade Caramel Sauce is thick, gooey, and made with just five ingredients in five minutes, perfect for apples, brownies, ice cream, or as a gift!
This is a quick and dirty post for 5-minute caramel sauce. I’ve used this caramel in a ton of recipes across the site, like my Caramel Macchiato, Apple Pie Sundae, and Salted Caramel Snickerdoodle Milkshake, and I will certainly use it in many more, so instead of re-typing the recipe every time, I thought I’d give it it’s own dedicated page.
Making candy is kind of a lost art. Dealing with screaming hot sugar, giant kettles, and finicky techniques just isn’t that appealing. While buying candy is easy enough, artisan products cost a small fortune, and run-of-the-mill selections at the supermarket leave a lot to be desired. Thankfully, these 5 recipes show you how to make some killer sweets that are also super easy. With a little patience and a handful of basic ingredients, these homemade candies will reward you with sweet success.
When it comes to our sweet tooth, we’re not usually too discerning when it comes to how we satisfy our cravings. However, there is one treat that never fails to make us feel good and we just found out there’s an easier way than ever to make it at home! Homemade caramel usually involves using a candy thermometer and being ridiculously attentive to make sure the sugar doesn’t burn and the cream doesn’t bubble over and burn us. With our new version though, all you need is five ingredients (really only 4) and the ability to stir for 10 minutes…if you can do that, you can have these deliciously sweet and perfectly chewy caramels in no time!
