Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce | JenniferCooks.com

I started making this Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce when I began making my Sticky Toffee Pudding (you have to try this recipe – it’s very easy and incredibly good!).

I guess this sauce is really considered a toffee sauce, but I think they’re pretty interchangeable.  I’ve added extra salt to this recipe because I really like it, but you can omit it if you want.

I use this sauce for quick desserts, especially ice cream! One of my favorite guilty pleasures is a bowl of vanilla ice cream, sliced bananas, this caramel sauce and toffee bits.  Y’all! It’s like heaven in a bowl!

Tips for the Best Caramel Sauce:

  1. To avoid burning and boiling over, choose a large heavy-bottom saucepan.
  2. Have ingredients pre-measured and ready. 
  3. DON’T substitute brown sugar with granulated white sugar, it will not turn out the same.

Drizzle Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce over these delicious desserts!
