Buttery Caramel Sauce Recipe

I love caramel’s, but it’s SO hard to get right!  My sister has this AMAZING caramel recipe (I’ll share it someday I promise), what makes it so amazing is how buttery it is.  So when I decided to take on caramel sauce I knew it had to have to have the buttery caramel goodness at the base.

this caramel sauce is smooth, buttery and the most delicious sauce ever

I serve this caramel sauce over ice cream, that is if I don’t eat it all first!  It’s seriously good straight.  A lot of people I gave jars to last year told me they didn’t ever get to try it on ice cream because they tried it and couldn’t put it down.  The best compliment a cook can ever receive!

this caramel sauce is thick, buttery and delicious

This is the caramel sauce I use for my salted caramel cheesecake too! AND I use it as an ingredient in my Snickers cupcakes as well! (don’t miss out on my Hot Fudge either)

this recipe for buttery caramel sauce is divine

It’s a simple recipe that I usually triple, at least.  When I’m making neighbor fits I double my triple batch, what’s that even called, sextuple the recipe?  It makes 18 cups that way! Last year I made 2 sextuple batches for 36 cups, enough for me to keep some and cover 30 neighbors and friends.

everyone loves this caramel sauce, it's the best recipe you'll every try

    Will 1 batch be enough for the cheesecake recipe? I don’t trust myself to have extra caramel sauce hanging around 🙂

    Are you using salted butter or unsalted

      salted – but I like salt – unsalted will give you more control over the salt level

    Is there any substitute for corn syrup by chance?

      you don’t have to use it but I recommend corn syrup – it keeps the sauce from crystalizing, gives strength and shine, I highly recommend it. it’s not the same thing as high fructose corn syrup

    I needed a quick caramel sauce to make an improvised dessert at my party for a lady who had allergies to all types of flours and nuts. (hence that made all the other desserts not on her diet) I cut up some granny Smith apples, microwaved them to pre soften then made this caramel sauce for them (which I googled on my phone). Everyone loved it and my son begs me to make it all the time and he is 20! I made it again this morning and added apples and a touch of cinnamon and put it over pancakes! Best caramel sauce ever! Thank you so much! It is now a permanent staple in our fridge.
