Caramel sauce should be served cold and used as toppings in most recipes. Though, this sauce can be left to harden and can be eaten as candy.
From cupcakes to brownies to pies to pancakes and waffles, caramel sauce can be drizzled over the top for added sweetness. In addition, caramel sauce can be added to popcorn for sweetness and even on ice cream.
There is really no special occasion for the confectionary as it can be made any day and anytime. It can be used for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner.
Now that you know how to make caramel sauce in the refrigerator, this is how you store it in case of excess. Simply refrigerate as it can last you for 3 – 4 days. I like to make mine in small quantities to avoid wastage.
