Salted Caramel Sauce Makes Everything Better

Salted Caramel Sauce

Salted Caramel Sauce is way easier than starting a blog. It only takes 5 ingredients and 15 minutes!

This is my first post about salted caramel sauce, and if you’re reading it right now, then I have managed to do what I thought was close to impossible for me…start a blog. This entire process so far has been a real character builder. And to tell you the truth, all I want right now is ice cream with salted caramel sauce. But as I’ve spent countless hours trying to make sense of all the different “widgets” and “plug-ins” used to create a blog, I reminisce my first attempt at making salted caramel sauce. And as the saying goes, “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again”.

While bubbling vigorously in toasty caramel-y satisfaction, I turned my back on the caramel…and burned it. I burned my “nonstick” saucepan horribly too and in my state of panic I quickly grabbed the closest cooking utensil within reach and scraped the pot all to hell with a stainless steel spatula! My poor “nonstick” pot. (I say, “nonstick” jokingly because caramel will stick to anything with a surface and no pot is a match to hot, scalding and burnt caramel goo.) If my “fight or flight” reaction had not kicked in prematurely, I could’ve avoided ruining my pot simply with hot water.

Shear seconds stood between me and a successful batch of salted caramel sauce on the first try. But I’m not one to give up too easily at anything I put my mind to. My second batch was delicious. All this to say that making salted caramel sauce in retrospect is so much easier than starting a blog. I highly suggest you go and make a jar full of this stuff.  It’s like gold and makes me happy just thinking about it.

This recipe uses our Sweet & Salty Surrender blend which incorporates an organic maple infused cane sugar and a maple infused sea salt. It can be purchased online through our website, and makes a ton of other delicious recipes.
