Thanks for the info. I guess I wasn’t taking into consideration that it’s just the sugars at the high temp & the added fats cool it down? I made it today & it is delicious! I sampled so much i may have to make more so I have enough for your caramel cheesecake. 🙂

Hi Brenda! 340F is correct. 🙂

Your toffee recipe is 305°(hard crack) and your caramel candy squares are 240°(soft ball), so it’s hard to imagine a liquid being a higher temp than a solid.

I’m glad you enjoyed the taste, Kay! You can use less cream for a thicker sauce next time. 🙂

In reply to Wanda.

the taste was good and I followed this recipe to a T but for some reason it came out very thin to the point it ran right off my cheese cat even in the fridge 😭 will try to make one more time and cook longer maybe?? but it was at perfect color. if it does come out thin again I won’t top until actually serving the slices of cheesecake

I had never made caramel before. It is sooo good! and it was pretty easy with instructions and notes. I made to go with your Best Cheesecake Ever recipe. I will let you know how that turned out after I eat it 🙂

Hi Wanda! It may have just needed to cook a little bit longer. 🙂

In reply to Sam.

Thank you! I did end up using this to top cream puffs and it was amazing! I made it on the thicker side and used just a touch more salt and it was spot-on. Like you said, it did not firm up like some glazes might, but it worked perfectly for this purpose! Will definitely use again!

Hi Leslie! Personally I would use it and it would be delicious, but this will stay sticky.

I am looking for a salted caramel sauce I can use as a drizzled or dipped topping for cream puffs (already scoped out your recipe for those). Is this one thick enough to serve that project?

Hi Shaun! You can, look for a rich caramel color like the photo and you should be good to go. I hope that helps!

Same thing happened to me. If I let it go to the degrees you have in the recipe it burns. Can I just go by color and not worry about hitting the degrees you suggest?

I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much, Maria! I definitely need to try it on top of banana bread! 🙂

Absolutely delicious, creamy, and smooth. I cooked to 345°, used 1/3 cup of heavy cream and added a handful of toasted pecans. I used this as a topping for Sam’s Best Banana Bread (omitting the granulated sugar topping in the recipe) and it was amazing!
