Can I substitute the brown sugar?

Yes, you can substitute brown sugar with granulated white sugar. However, I would like to mention that if you’re not careful watching and timing the recipe with granulated sugar. It can become a burnt mess. The reason I used brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in this recipe is that brown sugar has a more robust flavor.

How to make caramel sauce?

This recipe only calls for about 4 ingredients. Yes, you heard me right only 4 simple ingredients.

Brown sugar: I added brown sugar to this caramel recipe because of the robust flavor that brown sugar has.

Heavy whipping cream:

I use this to allow the caramel sauce to loosen up into a sauce. Without the whipping cream, you wouldn’t have a creamy delicious caramel.

Vanilla extract:

The vanilla extract brings even more flavor to the homemade caramel recipe.

Butter:

The heat of the caramel will eventually melt the butter causing even more flavor to be added to the mixture!

Salt:

With all the sugar being used in this recipe the salt helps to balance the sweetness.

Now add all these ingredients into a saucepan and enjoy!

How long does this caramel recipe last?

This sauce can be placed in the refrigerator and can last up to 2 weeks. The only thing you will need to do is warm the sauce in the microwave for about 15 to 30 seconds.
