Creamy Caramel Sauce
What it is
This is a rich and smooth caramel sauce. It is made with sugar, cream, and butter to create a sweet and slightly salty flavor. The texture is thick enough to coat desserts but still pourable. It comes ready to use, saving time in the kitchen. This sauce is a popular choice for adding a classic caramel taste to a variety of dishes.
How people cook with it

To use, simply open the container. If the sauce has solidified slightly, you can gently warm it. Place the unopened container in warm water for a few minutes, or microwave it in a microwave-safe dish for short intervals, stirring in between. Be careful not to overheat. Once warmed, it can be poured or drizzled directly onto your desired food or beverage. It is also excellent for incorporating into batters or fillings for cakes, cookies, and pies.
