Was looking everywhere for a good recipe, tried two different recipes and they didn't come as I hoped it would. Then finally I searched for the last time ready to give up then I saw Martha Stewart, and right then and there I clicked on it and didn't even look at the recipe once, because it was Martha Stewart and I automatically trusted her to lead me in the correct way on my culinary adventures. As I started it was exactly what I was looking for the color and the thickness was amazing. Overall thank you Martha, at first I was lost when I started this journey, but now I am found in ways of making a delicious caramel sauce.

So I made this sauce and I obviously did something wrong because the butter clarified after stirring the ingredients until the caramel color was formed.
Martha, please provide a video to help those of us who are not as experienced. Thanks!

This was so easy to make and turned out perfect for me the first time. I was looking for a caramel sauce to make to use in my coffee and this is perfect.

Came out super dry and grainy, pale in color, even though I melted sugar in the butter first... No idea what I did wrong, made worst sauce ever though!

OH MY GOD this is so good, like having your favorite guy wrap you in his arms! I tripled the recipe and got over 32 ounces. Put it in the 4 oz jelly jars for Christmas gifts. Had about 1/2 cup or so left over for me!! I dumped everything in together, no grittiness. Used salted butter and omitted the pinch. Cooked to almost a soft ball stage, it does thicken as it cools. YUMMY!!

This recipe was AWESOME! Very smooth and tasted great! I used the tip of the first review because I had read that it could come out gritty. So I melted the butter and brown sugar first over med heat until it began to boil...removed from heat then added the condensed milk and vanilla on low/med heat for about 3 minutes. Removed from heat and stirred until smooth, then chilled in fridge. :)

excellent and easy caramel sauce recipe. I would add that I cooked the brown sugar and butter until sugar was liquid and starting to boil. removed from heat and added milk, returned to heat and boiled stirring constantly for 6 min. Removed from heat and added vanilla then returned to heat for 1 more minute. It was perfect!

I just made this and it is so delicious! I used sugar in the raw. I halved the recipe due to the ingredients I had available. It's my first time making anything caramel, and this came out perfect. I added sliced apples which were seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg. Then I made a crumble. I buttered muffin tins and added the apple and then the crumble. I put a little crumble on the bottom. Just a sprinkle as a trial and error. It's in the oven now. It looks and smells yummy. Thank you Martha!!

I cannot have milk products. I substituted coconut milk from carton (not the canned stuff) for the condensed milk (half of it was coconut unflavored creamer) and olivia coconut spread for the unsalted butter.... YUMMY

I drizzled this over an apple cream cheese tart and it's wonderful.
