Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and stir until combined.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to ensure the mixture is smooth. Bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. The mixture will thicken slightly and take on a deeper caramel color.

Step 5

Stir in the salt and pure vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.

Step 6

Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm over your favorite desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
