Guess what? the recipe is the same standard recipe and the method is the same as everybody else and yet it’s picking that point of when the sugar goes from amber to golden and then burned. You have to pick just that point between golden and before burned that has the best dark color.

You can use this caramel sauce on ice creams, cupcakes and any dessert that calls for caramel.
