We used to always rely on store-bought caramel sauce whenever we were making sundaes or decorating cakes…that is, until we realized how ridiculously easy it is to make your own from scratch! That’s right, three ingredients are basically all you need to make an incredible caramel sauce that you can then drizzle over everything you could possibly want.
Here, we made an easy (read: super easy) party dip, where all you need is your caramel sauce, a brick of cream cheese, and some toffee bits to sprinkle on top. Dip apple slices in that bad boy and you’re good to go – it doesn’t get any easier or more delicious!
