Those that know me best know that I am somewhat of a caramel freak. Like, if I had the choice between hot fudge and caramel sauce I’d go with caramel every single time. Well, almost every single time 🙂
There is something absolutely satisfying about the sweet, smooth flavor of caramel. That deep, rich color is so glorious, it just begs to be drizzled on a bowl of premium vanilla ice cream.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!
And, once you’ve made it yourself, it will be virtually impossible for you to enjoy store bought caramel sauce again. There is so little work involved – the caramel sauce practically cooks itself.
The addition of bourbon and buttermilk add a punch of flavor and the teensiest hint of tang that takes this caramel sauce from amazing to WOW in a single bite.
This sauce will be making an appearance tomorrow on our French Toast. (Bananas Foster French Toast anyone?? Sounds like a new recipe to me!) My kids will thank me. My husband will love me just a little bit more. And then I will go for an extra long walk 🙂
Totally worth it.
How would you enjoy this caramel sauce? Ice cream? French Toast? Waffles? On top of Ice Cream Truffles? Or, are you like me and prefer it directly off the spoon;)
