  1. I made this recipe real quick before I had other errands, and it was really quick. I sat with the syrup and let it turn the color I wanted, then added the butter and vanilla and salt. My husband has been wanting more caramel, but I didn’t have whipping cream anymore. Now, that’s no longer a problem, I just need more corn syrup…

  2. In the salted Carmel sauce recipe it calls for 1 teaspoon of vanilla as one of the ingrediates but never adds in to the recipe?

    1. So sorry about that. When I’m cooking the recipes, I sometimes change them and it looks like the edit didn’t make it to the recipe card. I did not end up using the vanilla in my final test, but if you would like to add it do so with the milk.

    1. I did not end up using the vanilla in my final test, but if you would like to add it do so with the milk. Somehow my recipe card did not update that change.

  3. Can’t wait for the dessert reveal tomorrow ! Looks amazing . But then again all of your recipes do . I just need time to try and make a lot of them .

    1. Sorry about that! I use a homemade thick simple syrup for this instead of store bought corn syrup by mixing 8 tablespoons of sugar with 2 tablespoons of hot water. This makes a half a cup of homemade corn syrup.

  4. I’m probably one of the only people who is not a salt carmel person but my daughter loves it and I can’t wait to surprise her with this!

    1. It was a change for me at first too, but now I can’t even remember caramel sauce without it! And I only really tried it a few years ago, so most of my life was the non salted way!

  5. I have really gotten into Salted Caramel flavor lately. I will have to try to make this sauce myself. Yum.
