I found the recipe to be a bit vague in some parts. I had to do some guesswork, which made me a little nervous.

The only downside is that it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The caramel sauce is the star of the show! It's rich, creamy, and has the perfect amount of sweetness.
