This was just out of this world. A really incredible flavor -- I can't believe it was so easy. I had it hot with some vanilla Haagen Dazs. If you like dulce de leche you'll love this.

Considering that I love caramel I wasn't really worried about liking this recipe. It was great! I added a dollop of whipped topping (though ice cream would be excellent as well) and I loved it!

So easy, so yummy and made from ingredients always on hand. Served with custard. Definite keeper.

Saturday night is the kids dessert night, they can choose any dessert they want to make with the ingredients we have on hand. Last Saturday they decided they wanted something sweet and gooey. After a serious search through Zaar they found this! To say the least they got their wish, sweet and gooey. They were so proud of themselves when they served it us, with a little half and half over the top. A little sweet but not bad at all. They give it a 5 star.

Here's a dessert that belongs in everyone's recipe file! What can I say? It was simple to prepare, can be done at the last minute, uses inexpensive pantry staples, and was very tasty. I slipped it into the oven just before we sat down to dinner, so it would be cooked and still warm when we were ready for dessert (we wait after dinner for a little bit before having dessert). I served it to my family with vanilla ice cream, and it went over very well. I'll be making this often, guaranteed.
