To best enjoy this caramel spread, allow it to come to room temperature if it has been refrigerated. This will make it easier to spread and drizzle. You can warm it slightly in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for a few seconds for a more fluid consistency, perfect for pouring. Stir it well before using to ensure the salted butter flavor is evenly distributed. It can be used as a topping, a filling, or an ingredient in baked goods and sauces.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the caramel spread refrigerated to maintain its texture and freshness. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent it from drying out. It is best to consume it within a few weeks of opening for optimal taste.
