Notes
Note #1- When I made this caramel sauce for the first time, it surprised me. Don’t be alarmed. After you quickly make this recipe, store it in the refrigerator overnight. You will notice the next morning the color and texture changes, I suspect the butter and heavy cream is the reason.
Note #2- If you would like a thinner caramel sauce after it’s refrigerated, you can add additional cream or water.
