Caramel Topping

Step 1/4

Melt 1 ½ cups of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often so it does not scorch.

Melt the sugar until fully dissolved and golden brown. If it's crystallized or bubbling, turn down the heat.

Step 3/4

Pour the caramel into the dry, ungreased baking dish and set aside to cool.

Step 4/4

Use the wooden spoon or spatula to scrape the remaining caramel from the pan onto wax paper. Drizzle into fun shapes to create a decoration for the final dish.
