Today I tried two recipes for homemade ice cream toppings. Yum!! I'm thinking these would make some nice gifts for teachers, neighbours and maybe even the bus driver!
Caramel Sauce- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla
Combine butter, brown sugar, water and salt in a medium sauce pan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to boil for 3-5 minutes depending on thickness desired. (The longer is boils, the thicker the sauce). Remove from heat and stir in evaporated milk and vanilla.
Sauce will be quite thin. Thickens to a nice, but pourable, consistency when cooled. If using right away, you may want to only put in half the evaporated milk to create a thicker sauce.
Hot Fudge Sauce
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 ounces of chocolate (whatever type you prefer - I used milk chocolate)
Put all ingredients in a heavy saucepan and cook over low heat until sauce is smooth and creamy. Let cool slightly and spoon into jar.

Should these sauces be refrigerated once they are made?
I do. I think they would have a longer shelf life that way too. A quick zap in the microwave helps them soften up. :)
