Salted Caramel Sauce

February 27, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have a treat for you, key word a treat!!  Today I made you a saucy sweet treat that is sure to please caramel lovers.  You can say I am a caramel lover!!  I tend to go on kicks when it comes to caramel.  I over do having it in coffee, ice cream ect… then I get sick of it.  But sure enough a couple of months later the caramel craving comes back.  So what does a girl do when she craves caramel?  She makes her own!!

Salted Caramel Sauce
Oh yah, homemade caramel sauce. This is not your traditional caramel sauce that you get from the store or even at a candy shop this one is a little different. See my caramel sauce is made with coconut sugar, not granulated sugar. I chose coconut sugar for a couple of reasons. It’s natural, its high in vitamins and minerals, and it’s rich in amino acids. But the biggest benefit of coconut sugar is has Low Glycemic Index, meaning it doesn’t spike your sugar level. Low glycemic index foods can help balance and control health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity. So coconut sugar was the way to go in my book!  Oh and the sauce doesn’t taste like coconut.
Salted Caramel Sauce
The sauce turned out simply perfect. It’s thick, has a sweet caramel flavor and has the most beautiful rich, dark color. Oh, plus the salt, oh man you can’t forget the salt! Sweet and salt all the way! Yum!! This is one sticky recipe to make, but I sure enjoyed licking the spoon!! However,I got it everywhere, my arm, my cheek, and my clothes. Oh well, so worth it!!
Salted Caramel Sauce
The recipe is super easy to make too. No candy thermometer needed. I added coconut sugar and coconut milk to a sauce pan. Be sure to use one with high sides, so it doesn’t bubble over. Whisk, whisk, whisk until it starts to bubble. When it bubbles, whisk for two minutes. Then take off the stove and stir in vanilla extract and salt. That’s it! Easy peasy!!! No corn syrup, no butter and a less processed sugar. You can’t beat that!! But do remember this is still sugar, so go light on it!!

Salted Caramel Sauce
I did some research of caramel sauce and dessert toppings and the first two ingredients in just about all brands is Corn Syrup and high fructose syrup, with fructose coming in at #4.  So believe me this may not be the healthiest recipe in the world, but it is so much better than the stuff at the store.  Mine is all natural and your body can process natural a lot easier than processed.  Plus it’s vegan and gluten-free.  So if your craving caramel, whip together a batch of my sauce.  You will just love it!

Well that’s it for me!  I need to go make my Skinny Caramel Frappe and add just a drizzle of the sauce over the top.

Have a neato-rific day!


Toodles,

Jen

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
