Directions

In a Dutch oven, combine the first 7 ingredients. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until the caramels are melted and mixture is smooth (do not boil). Reduce heat to low.
With an electric hand mixer on medium speed, beat in vanilla; continue beating for 5 minutes. Beat on high for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 30 minutes (sauce will thicken as it cools). Pour into food storage containers; refrigerate. Serve warm or cold.

What can you serve chocolate turtle sauce with besides ice cream?

How do you keep the ingredients from burning while cooking them?

Caramel can burn when using a thin and shallow pot. This is a very common caramel mistake. To keep the caramel from burning, make sure you’re using a heavy-bottomed pan to avoid uneven cooking.
