What's your favorite dessert to eat with caramel?

This caramel is soooo good, but add the cream and butter when it’s yellow, not copper for best results

Love the ease of this caramel recipe! Thanks a million!

When you said to cook the caramel 5 minutes longer without stirring it, my caramel burned and tasted bitter. Because of that I needed to think of a quick new filling for my cake. I think that if you make this without doing the last part where you let it sit on the heat for 5 minutes without stirring. Your good.

Perfect explanation on how to do this! I had 100% success! Caramel is delicious. Like others, it took me just over 10 minutes for it to get to the perfect caramel-y color, but totally worth it.
Thanks!

Thank you for this recipe. It was really great!

I love this recipe, it's simple and tasty. I've used it on Ice cream, in chocolate caramels, and straight from the jar.

This caramel recipe is so delicious, my family ate the whole thing before I could use it to fill 
my cupcakes! 10/10

I followed this recipe exactly. Melted the sugar and water on moderate then when bubbling turned it full bore took a couple more minutes but as soon as it started to colour around the edges of the pan I took it off the heat. The residual heat finished the caramalization in seconds without burning. Plopped in the butter and cream for a quick whisk and hey presto perfect caramel sauce. Took 8 minutes start finish. I'm sure the trick is to remove the sugar as soon as you see the edges in the pan darkening. Really was perfect caramel.

On my first attempt, I let it get up to 350°F (which took longer than 5 minutes) and it wound up tasting a little burnt; it was still pretty tasty. However,  next time I'm going to try gauging it by color rather than strictly temperature. 
Granted, I was using cheap pans and an electric stove *le sigh.*
Also, make sure you use a tall pan, as the boiling caramel WILL bubble up quite high, and boiling over will cause an ungodly mess.

I do not know why, but my caramel crystalized. I tried again and it did the same thing. 
It smelled amazing and was very easy, however.

Thank you for this recipe and your thoroughness! Much appreciated :)

amazing caramel really delicious i recommend this recipe:)

It is pretty good caramel sauce. It did take me about 10 min for the golden color though.
