Sweet, creamy caramel adds a touch of “OMG this is so good” to everything you add it to. You can make your own caramel sauce to use in recipes, or you can use store-bought caramel in the form of caramel sauce, caramel ice cream sauce, or caramel candies that get melted down. Using store-bought isn’t cheating; it’s simply taking a shortcut. These recipes are some of the best uses of that delicious, sweet, and sometimes-salty shortcut.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I have been making these caramel apples for a while now. The trick to getting the apples covered is to turn them while dipping them. I have used crushed oreo cookies, graham crackers, sprinkles, candy corn, nuts, and chocolate chips.” \u2014LESNDESI\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“This is a great recipe. Not only a time saver but delicious! Of course I served it with vanilla ice cream and an extra drizzle of caramel. Yum!” \u2014Melissa Hammersley\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
