Impulsively tried this last night at 10pm. Worked quite well!

[@user-si4mx7gj1y]

I like how you say "easy" and then start off with "you need a new pan".

[@jordankooiman6040]

You always need a new pan. And new utensils and probably a new knife. Don’t forget to upgrade your range.

[@vilfs]

just made this today and it turned out perfect. i made the mistake of waiting a bit after adding the butter because my cream was a little cold and i had to warm it up in the microwave. this caused my caramel to clump up and become very hard but i persevered, had faith and kept stirring on low-medium heat until it melted down again. added the cream after and it was like nothing wrong happened. thank you for the recipe!

[@JackHOWL9]

Same thing happened to me had faith waited for it to melt down and thicken ITS DIVINE

Hi John, would you be able to make a video of a sticky toffee pudding? For the British cousins😊. Thanks

Caramel, the only thing better than chocolate. And if you want warm hands on a cold day, a roux for gumbo works too lol

[@BEVERLYRANDOLPH-lx4qu]

Yes, don’t use a metal utensil to stir your flour because it WILL burn your hand!

Me: I should probably start eating better and working out more Also me: *drooling over videos on how to make sweets*

[@1975edgard]

The best tip about it is the pan, is all about the pan. If you're afrid of pouring heavy cream onto caramel with high temperature, let it cool down a lilbit, mix it and turn fire on and begin to stir the pan at medium temperature.

[@Poeticfloetic]

We heard him.

This looks SO wonderful! I'm going to make a batch & add some when I make vanilla bean ice cream on the weekend.

I was just about to buy ice cream topping, now instead, I can make my own. Thanks

[@lubimac9071]

Caramel has always been my nemesis! But when I watched your video, I decided it to give it one more try so I followed your recipe step by step. It all seemed to be going accordingly but then, I had a panicky moment when, after adding the room temp. heavy cream, the sauce suddenly turned very liquidy... and it would not seem to thicken. I kept alternating between on and off the stove, and even though it had already reached the dark color I wanted, it was still liquidy. I tested with dipping the spoon in the sauce then dunking it in a water cup, but it would just dissolve.. Then my husband, who was on the phone providing moral support, said "take if off the stove and allow it to cool a bit. It will thicken!" Sure enough, within minutes the sauce had the consitancy of the one you showed in the video. And it tasted wonderful! I absolutely LOVE your recipes! Thank you!!

[@deliaforet8997]

Hi john. I love your videos and tutorials. My question is, can this also be used on chocoflan as topping and bread pudding . May God bless you and your family.

[@gilbertobrandina9487]

It's pretty great. My fiance did this once, but she added a bit of Marsala Wine (Lombardo) instead of the butter. It ended up like a very dense cream, but incredibly flavourfull.

[@rmyss5394]

John, can you use brown sugar? And what needs to be done to use it on popcorn? This looks yummy! Thank you.

[@shainazion4073]

Brown sugar has the molasses still in it. Butterscotch is made with brown sugar, you can make a brown sugar "caramel". Stir, Stir, Stir, Do not look away even a second

[@diveanddine]

the most pleasant way to learn about caramel

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

Hi John! Looks yummy.

[@L17_8]

Jesus loves you ❤️ Please repent and turn to him and receive Salvation before it is too late. The end times written about in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus is the son of God and he died for our sins on the cross and God raised him from the dead on the third day. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms but time is running out. Please repent and turn to him before it is too late. Accept Jesus into your heart and invite him to be Lord and saviour of your life and confess and believe that Jesus is Lord, that he died for your sins on the cross and that God raised him from the dead. Confess that you are a sinner in need of God's Grace and ask God to forgive you for all your sins through Jesus. Jesus loves you. Nothing can compare to how he loves you. When he hung on that cross, he thought of you. As they tore open his back, he thought of your prayer time with him. As the thorns dug into his head, he thought of you spending time in the word of God. As the spears went into his side, he imagined embracing you in heaven. Jesus longs to be with you. Please repent and turn to Him and receive Salvation before it is too late.

I made John's chocolate cake and frosting with my nephew for his 11th birthday. We made caramel, then whipped it for the filling of the chocolate cake. Yummm!!🥮🥮🍰🥮🍰🥮🥮

[@sheilaMagilicudy]

This takes some time but boy oh boy is it worth it. Also purchase good butter. Regular butter always spits so full of water now a days. I could smell this cooking John. YUM

Can rhis be whipped to use as filling fir cakes or macarons?

To avoid my candy from crystallizing I like to add a drop of Kayro corn syrup. I never get that problem.

[@SundaysChild1966]

Oh that would make sense, when I make peanut brittle I use some corn syrup with the sugar and bring it up to 300F ..

[@pil4r]

Made it just now and turned out delicious. I left it to turn a deep, dark brown color (so pretty!). As a side note, I added a little bit of vanilla extract to the cream for a touch of extra flavour Thank you :)

[@Spirit_of_Morning]

I realize this is a video for luscious caramel, but it's a recent video with active comments. I've been binge watching the muffin (and other) videos, but am waiting for you to share a recipe for Morning Glory Muffins. You have so many others that all come out perfect, so I KNOW that a Preppy Kitchen Morning Glory Muffin recipe would live up to its name. Thank you!

[@PattyCake905]

John - this recipe looks amazing - thank you! I reviewed the written recipe in the link and it says not to use cane sugar in the sugar description, yet the picture of the sugar used is a box of Dominos pure cane granulated sugar. What type of sugar should be used?

Could I use clarified butter instead of regular butter to reduce the water and milk fat content? Or, is there value in the milk fat; flavor?

What kind of heavy cream do u use? The dairy one or the non-dairy?

Can half half be used? I dont usually have cream. TIA

I don't very often take the easy route, however on having a heap load of toffees left from a selection tin at Christmas melted them into double cream and made a 2 ingredient caramel sauce😁

John , can I replace the cream with sweetened condensed milk?

[@AF-mq8xb]

I made this and the first time it went off without a hitch. The second time it went totally sideways and became a crystallized mess and hardened to a rock like consistency.😢 But, I'm happy to say that the third time landed me back in caramel bliss. My main tip is stir that melty sugar until your arm falls off and get every little lump out at that stage or they'll be there forever. I even took it off the heat, so it didn't go too dark, to stir and melt the lumps then added a bit of heat to keep everything melted or melting, and was able to get everything smooth. Also, definitely heat the milk. Mine was like 95° After that you're golden...or caramelly should I say?😊
