There’s just something about the combination of sweet and salty that makes me smile. If you’re the same way then this recipe is for you. It’s perfect for ice cream, brownies, cakes or any other sweet treat you want to enjoy it on. Come to think of it, I just bought some donut pans. I might have to make some Salted Caramel Donuts!

Let it cool off and you’re done!

This caramel will start to firm up as it cools so make sure you transfer it to the container you want it in, and make sure it’s a container you can heat up a bit when you’re ready to soften it some. It won’t become rock hard, but you will need to heat it to make it a sauce again. I put it in a mason jar, then just place the jar in some simmering water for a bit.

      I hope you like it! My only problem with it is it does harden a bit so you have to melt it down in hot water to get it back to a drizzling consistency. This is also why I recommend putting it in a mason jar.
