Ingredients
  

For the Caramel Fondue

  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar For melting
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter To create a creamy texture
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream For smoothness
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract For flavor enhancement
  • A pinch Salt Balances sweetness

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients and dippables.

Cooking

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir constantly until it melts completely and turns a rich amber color (about 5-10 minutes).
  • Once the sugar has melted, carefully add the unsalted butter and stir until melted.
  • Gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  • Transfer the caramel to a fondue pot or a heat-proof bowl and serve with dippables.

Notes

Control heat to prevent burning. Use a clean pot to avoid crystallization. Experiment with flavors like almond or maple.
