‘Tis the Season for Salted Caramel Sauce!

Let’s make it vegan!

The Sea Salt Flakes:

I got a little festive here and used my fancy Fleur de Sel flakes. Absolutely not really necessary, use whatever sea salt you have right now in the pantry, just don’t use the extra coarse grains because you won’t like biting into one.

      I don’t actually use a candy thermometer when making caramel but sugar starts to melt and caramelize when it reaches 320″F.
