    This caramel was sweet, smooth, soft and delicious. Next time I will buy salted butter because it needed a bit of bite to help the flavor along. I mixed in the maple syrup and really enjoyed the hint of maple. After it was poured in my pan I sprinkled some sea salt on top of the cooling caramel and that helped it significantly! Will make it again! I used some of the caramel in my apple pie that same day recipe # 184183.
