Notes

  • Butter: I like to use salted butter in this recipe. You can use unsalted butter and adjust the salt level with salt as needed. 
  • Caramel sauce: Here is the recipe to make salted caramel sauce. If you would like to use a jarred caramel, make sure you get a thicker sauce and not a thinner topping.
  • Salt: Also, add a pinch or two of a finishing salt for the "salted" flavor!
