Caramel Dip

Some people crave sugar, some salt, some crunchy, some gooey.  I tend toward gooey whims, but my idea of perfect is when you can get it all at once with just a few minutes of time and a little bit of patience.

That's all it takes to make this marvelously decadent caramel dip - I made this up last night to have with pretzels (crunchy, salty....) and I'm having a bit more of it today with crisp apple slices. SO good...

Caramel Dipping Sauce

1/3 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. corn syrup
2/3 c heavy cream or half and half

Heat together butter, sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup until melted.  Bring to a boil, and let cook for about 6 minutes.  Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then stir in cream.   Cool in refrigerator (will thicken as it cools).

Makes 2 1/2 cups.

If you take a taste before it's cool, keep in mind this stuff is HOT and sticky.  Don't burn your tongue!
