Salted Caramel

Salted caramel is one gooey, sticky hot mess! I’m not sure I can name one dessert that wouldn’t benefit from it’s addition. It’s a sauce that’s surprisingly easy to make. Only 4 ingredients are required to create this deliciously thick concoction. Use it to dress up a wide variety of sweet yummy treats.  What brownie doesn’t love to be smothered in caramel? One of my favorite ways to enjoy salted caramel is drizzled over a big bowl of vanilla ice cream and then topped off with chopped dry roasted peanuts. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. How do you like to serve salted caramel?
