This was wonderful! We served it with a scoop of ice cream - arranged like a banana split. The chopped peanuts were a good crunchy, slightly salty topping. Since I am new to making caramel, it would have been helpful to have more direction on what heat to cook this on and for how long.

Yep, I agree with everyone else! this was a TRUE winner. Thank you so much! I added some cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg to the mix and we absolutely LOVED it. I also used coconut rum. ZWT4 with the Babes in Africa.

Holy Moly Batman! This is good stuff! I really pigged out on this last nite. My better half thought it would be a good topping for ice cream and it was. We'll be making this one again for company. Made for ZWT4.
