Pecan Caramel Sauce
This easy pecan caramel sauce is rich, buttery, and made with four simple ingredients. It thickens as it cools and is perfect for drizzling over cakes, cheesecake, ice cream, pancakes, and bread pudding. Homemade caramel sauce has a deeper flavor than store bought because it uses real butter and cream.
Servings: 1 bundt cake
