Whether it’s salted or purely sticky sweet, caramel is a luxurious syrup or flavor that enhances almost any baked treat. I just so happen to be a caramel person. I know, I know – most of you fall onto the chocolate bandwagon, but when it comes to holiday desserts, caramel is where it’s at. I prefer a good caramel sauce, infused with bourbon and butter, or a deeply hued dessert that tastes rich and decadent because of the enhanced slightly bitter flavor. Caramel pairs so nicely with nuts too, it clings on the clusters delicately, while still holding tight to its authentic deeper-than-butterscotch taste.
I have prepared a few caramel treats on my blog and these are some of my favorites that I think will make your holiday that much brighter. From sauces to cakes to bar cookies — these caramel desserts all deserve a spot on your festive table. So move over chocolate, caramel is taking center stage. Happy Holidays!
