I've had caramel on the brain. Probably because summer has arrived and I'm thinking of carnivals, and fairs and outside picnics...which brings me to think of caramel apples and popcorn balls and so forth. So, in honor of caramel, here's a couple of my of all-time favorite recipes.
Caramel Apple Dippers or Popcorn
Why go to the trouble of putting an apple on a stick and dipping it in the caramel to eat, when you can cut the apple into bite size pieces and dip each one in delicious caramel! Be warned, you might take a bite out of the spoon that's covered in this rich and dark caramel.
1/2 c butter
1 1/4 c dark brown sugar
1 1/4 c light brown sugar
1 c light corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp salt
Over medium heat melt butter, sugars and corn syrup and bring to a boil. Add sweetened milk and salt and bring to a boil again. Cook 5 minutes take off stove and add vanilla.
1 tsp vanilla
Leatherby's Caramel Ice Cream Sauce
Ever been to Leatherby's? Mmm...your missing out! My favorite is Amy's Almond Joy....the name is perfect wouldn't you say, and let's face it, coconut ice cream covered in warm fudge, almonds and coconut is pretty much as close to heaven as you can get on a spoon in my book. Michelle, my roommate and dear friend from college, walk down memory lane once a year at Leatherby's and split the delicious coconut loving sugar rush with a side of their heavenly caramel sauce along with a big old fat order of artery clogging fries with fry sauce. This recipe is pretty darn close, you wont' be disappointed.
1 c white sugar
1/2 c packed light brown sugar
1/2 c corn syrup
1 1/2 c evaporated milk
1/2 c butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
Add everything to a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes over low-medium heat. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge.
