Decadent Stove-Top Heath Bar Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Heath bar pieces

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and measure them accurately. Ensure the Heath bar pieces are roughly chopped into small bits.

2. Melt the Butter: In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to become fully liquid and slightly bubbly but avoid browning.

3. Add Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar to the melted butter, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula. Continue to stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth.

4. Incorporate Cream and Milk: Carefully pour in the heavy cream and whole milk. Stir to combine. Be cautious, as the mixture may bubble up lightly due to the temperature change.

5. Simmer and Thicken: Allow the caramel to simmer gently on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes (PT10M), stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken and develop a rich, amber color.

6. Add Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the pure vanilla extract and salt. Mix thoroughly until these ingredients are evenly incorporated.

7. Integrate Heath Bar Pieces: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Heath bar pieces until they are well distributed throughout the caramel sauce.

8. Cool and Serve: Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. This caramel sauce is perfect for drizzling over ice cream, cakes, or other desserts.
