Homemade Werther's Original Ice Cream Sauce

Here’s something a little different! Instead of a recipe for ice cream, here’s a recipe for a topping!

How many of you grew up with Werther’s Original caramel? Maybe your grandparent gave some to you during a visit, or maybe you’ve had a glass bowl filled with the stuff since you were a kid. Either way, most of us are probably already salivating just from the name. Now imagine a caramel/butterscotch sauce that tastes just like those little candies. Delicious.

Ingredients

• (1) 2.75 oz. bag of crushed Sugar Free Werther’s Hard Candies (I used the Original flavor, but feel free to experiment using the other flavors. i.e. Caramel Coffee, Caramel Apple, Caramel Cinnamon)
• (1) Half Pint carton of heavy whipping cream

Instructions

• Pour whipping cream in small saucepan. 
• On medium/low heat, heat whipping cream for 5-7 minutes.
• Once visibly hot, add in crushed pieces of Werther’s candies.
• Using a whisk, stir until all candy is melted. (If mixture begins to lightly boil, turn down heat and continue to stir.)
• Once all candy is melted and mixture is smooth, remove from heat. 
• Cool in pan for 10-15 minutes. 
• Once cooled, pour into glass bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
