This sauce can be made in just minutes and is so easy too! Give it a little different flavor by adding a pinch of salt at the end if you like sweet and salty.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cu. salted butter, melted
  • 1 cu. light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cu. heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Steps

  1. In a 4 cup microwave safe glass bowl (or larger) combine melted butter, brown sugar and heavy cream, whisking until blended and there are no lumps.
  2. Heat mixture in microwave on high for 2 minutes and remove to stir. Return to microwave and heat for 2 more minutes until bubbly and slightly thickened.
  3. Stir in salt and vanilla and allow to cool until warm, not hot. Mixture will thicken as it cools.
  4. Serve warm.
  5. If caramel cools completely reheat by placing in microwave for 20-25 seconds.
