5 stars for a easy, delicious recipe. I tried another recipe last week and it was pretty much a failure....but this one I followed exactly and it turned out great. I happened to have half and half cream, but I think it would be fine with whole milk. Not only did it taste good, but it was a nice caramel color. The true test will be tonight when we have it over ice cream, but I have no doubts it will be a success. Thanks for sharing this one!

Very yummy and easy to make. I actually made it to use as a caramel sauce in a cake recipe that I had - it worked wonderfully - I will make this again!

This is excellent! I made it for dessert last night over vanilla ice cream and it was a hit! It would also be good if you make your own ice cream to drizzle some in when you are making vanilla. I made exactly as posted and it only took a few minutes. Thanks for posting another keeper!!
