Making no fail, homemade caramel sauce couldn’t be any easier!
Making homemade caramel sauce can be a bit intimidating. With so many recipes and techniques it can be confusing to know which recipe to go with. I hope my no fail homemade caramel sauce recipe will come as reprieve to you. This recipe is very simple and best of all does not require the use of a thermometer. You can store this caramel in mason jar containers in the fridge and just slightly warm the jar for a few seconds in the microwave when you want to use. This caramel is perfect to use for your desserts and breakfast treats, I even use it to make my Homemade Salted Caramel Ice Cream and Chocolate Chip Caramel Cheesecake Bars, both of which are absolutely amazing!
