Steps

1. Place caramel candies and whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl; microwave for 30 seconds; stir; microwave for another 15 seconds; stir; continue to heat and stir at 15 second intervals until smooth, watching carefully so that the sauce doesn’t boil over or burn.
2. Allow sauce to cool and thicken, at room temperature, for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often to keep it smooth.
