This sauce is amazing. I often stock up on caramels after the holidays and make tons of this sauce as gifts. It is super easy to make and a wonderfully easy gift. When I was a teenager, my mom would make up a quart of the sauce and put it in the spare fridge for emergency desserts. It keeps for a long, long time in the fridge. Well, what she didn’t know was that I would grab a spoon from the kitchen and then mosey on out to that fridge and sneak a spoonful all of the time. Often when she went to grab that jar of sauce it would be lighter than she expected and when she looked inside, she would find the center tunneled out all the way to the bottom of the jar.
Nowadays, I am not the one who tries to sneak spoonfuls of this sauce. However, because I am a reformed culprit, I am on the lookout for sneaks. I have caught more than one of my kids with their spoons poised to steal a bite or two of this wonderful sauce. It is truly the best hot fudge sauce (or cold fudge sauce) that I have ever had.
