Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 quarters cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the granulated sugar over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir the sugar constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula as it begins to melt. Break up any clumps and continue stirring until the sugar is completely melted and turns a deep amber color. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 3

Once the sugar is fully melted, immediately add the unsalted butter. The mixture will bubble vigorously. Stir continuously until the butter is fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir. The mixture will bubble up again. Stir until the cream is fully combined and the caramel is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well combined.

Step 6

Allow the caramel fondue to cool slightly before transferring it to a fondue pot or heat-safe serving bowl.

Step 7

Serve warm with an assortment of dippers like sliced fruits (apples, bananas, strawberries), marshmallows, pretzels, or cookies for dipping.
