Caramel sauce
Caramel sauce, delicious in your coffee, with your brownie or other pastries, and not at all difficult to make at home. Ready-to-use caramel sauce often contains additives such as modified cornstarch, synthetic flavoring, and coloring. A shame because this sauce is so easy to make yourself with only a few ingredients.
