Thank you. Looking forward to what you come up with.
If I wanted to turn this sauce into a frosting how would I do that
That could be a tough one, Theresa. I’ll have to really think about that. It might just be easier to use a traditional caramel frosting recipe. Let me think about it and see if I can think of the best way to convert this.
