Notes:
- Read my caramel recipe for more detailed homemade caramel information.
- If you do not want to make caramel yourself, you can buy it at the store, or you can melt caramel candies (for example Werthers original) in a double boiler and get the caramel that way. However, homemade caramel is quite simple to make, and the taste is amazing. So I highly recommend that you make your own.
