Simply open the container and pour. Warm the sauce slightly for a thinner consistency, which is excellent for creating decorative drizzles on cakes, pies, or cookies. It can also be stirred directly into batters or doughs before baking to infuse them with caramel flavor. For a more intense caramel experience, consider reducing the sauce further on the stovetop, though this is not necessary for most applications. It works well as a base for other dessert preparations.
