  <short_description>Tasty enough to eat on its own</short_description>
  <long_description>Tasty enough to eat on its own, this slightly salted caramel sauce is a great addition to sundaes or whisked into your next hot chocolate.</long_description>
  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>Store-bought caramel sauces are oftentimes very sweet and contain loads of stabilizers. This homemade version is quick to make and has a nice salty note. Caramel sauce is essential for sundae-lovers, but it can also be used in <a href="/recipes/10673">cheesecakes</a>, in <a href="/recipes/11367">ice cream</a>, or whisked into <a href="/recipes/11200">hot chocolate</a>.</p>


	<p><strong>Game plan:</strong> This sauce will last up to 7 days covered and refrigerated.</p>]]>
