Quick Caramel Topping/Filling
"This is my end result of a recipe I found on the net a long time back. It makes the perfect soft caramel for filling candies and as a substitute for recipes which call for melted caramels. I also use this as ice cream topping (which was my original intent.) It gets thick in the fridge but remains soft and spoon-able so you can reheat slightly before using on ice cream or enjoy as is."
