CARAMEL SAUCE IN CROCKPOT, SUPER EASY!



Caramel Sauce in Crockpot, Super Easy! image

My very good friend Jana McK. gave me this recipe for the stove top. I have adapted it for the crock pot. It makes for a super easy, no fuss caramel dipping sauce. Great for fruit, nuts and even pretzels. Only 2 ingredients. Remember crock pots vary in their heat intensities. Mine gets very hot on high. Finally, you might want to line the crockpot with those disposable liners to make it easier to clean up the sticky glue from the can and make sure you wait until the can is warm, not hot or the "sauce" will explode.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 graham crackers (the 4-section large pieces)
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 pints vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans, plus extra for serving
4 peanut butter cups, roughly chopped
2 large chocolate-covered peanut butter crunch candy bars, such as Butterfinger, roughly chopped
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup half-and-half
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon vanilla

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Provided by MarthaStewartWanabe

Categories     Sauces

Time 17m

Yield 1/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/2 cup maple syrup (real ONLY)
2 tablespoons butter, salted

Steps:

  • Melt together maple syrup and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stirring with a wooden spoon, cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until the sauce thickens to the consistency of a smooth caramel sauce. If necessary, whisk to thoroughly incorporate melted butter.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. As it cools, a thin skin may form on top. Just stir it once more with your wooden spoon before drizzling over your food of choice.
  • Left-overs can be refrigerated and re-heated for 20-30 seconds in the microwave--that is if you have any. :).

WAY TOO EASY CARAMEL SAUCE/DIP



Way Too Easy Caramel Sauce/Dip image

Looking for a yummy caramel sauce for desserts or ice cream? How about a caramel dip for apples or other fruit? Here is my microwave recipe for a wonderfully caramel-y "eat it off the spoon" smooth and creamy dip/sauce.

Provided by Pam Ellingson @wmnofoz

Categories     Ice Cream & Ices

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup(s) butter
3/4 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup(s) white corn syrup
1/2 can(s) sweetened condensed milk (14 oz can)
3 tablespoon(s) heavy whipping cream ( optional)
1 or 2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1 or 2 pinch(es) salt

Steps:

  • In medium microwave proof mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients except vanilla. Microwave on high (1200 watts power microwave) for 2 minutes, stir well. Return to microwave on high for 1 minute and thirty seconds. (Watch carefully so it doesn't boil over) Stir again and return to microwave for 1 minute. Stir well and place a small amount (couple of teaspoons) on cold plate to see if texture is thick enough when cooled to room temp. If not, microwave another 30 seconds or so. Remove and add the vanilla, stir to incorporate. Set aside to cool for ice cream topping or for apple dip. Refrigerate in airtight container til use. (this will make it stiff, just zap for 10 or 20 sec to bring back to softer form)
