Caramel Coating for Cream Puffs

This recipe is part of Pol Martins Cream Puffs "Cream Puff Dough" and his Chocolate Cream Filling "Pol Martin-Chocolate Pastry Cream" Once you are done filling the cream puffs, dip them in this caramel sauce. I suggest reading these recipes over before tasking, to make sure they are fully understandable to avoid mess up :D
