leftover caramel

[birchforest]

I have at least a cup and a half of leftover caramel sauce. Any ideas for something I could do with it? I was thinking of trying a caramel banana cake. I was hoping for something that would freeze well. Maybe a caramel bread?

I wish - the cup of heavy cream prevents that. For the same reason, I don't think it would do too well in the freezer.

Great idea - I've got some Golden Delicious just waiting.

2 (18 oz) rolls Pillsbury Refrigerated Sugar Cookies
1 3/4 cups rolled oats
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 (14 oz) package caramels, unwrapped
1/2 cup butter
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
3 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping

Prep time: 30 minutes
Ready in: 3 hours 10 minutes

Directions:
1. Heat oven at 350. Break up 1 roll of cookie dough into large bowl. Add 3/4 cup of the oats, 1/3 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla; mix well. With floured fingers, press dough mixture evenly in bottom of ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan to form crust.
2. Bake at 350 for 13 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown.
3. Meanwhile, break up remaining roll of cookie dough in same bowl. Add remaining cup of oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; mix well. In large microwave bowl, combine caramels, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, stopping after 3:30 to stir mixture. Continue cooking until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring frequently.
4. Remove partially baked crust from oven. Spread caramel mixture evenly over crust. Crumble remaining dough mixture evenly over caramel.
5. Return to oven; bake an additional 18 to 22 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 15 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen. Cool about 2 hours or until completely cooled. Using a small spoon, drizzle caramel topping over bars. Cut into bars.

We had it at our last book club - messy, but good!

I would probably just eat it with a spoon, but Bridget's recipe sounds really, really good!

I've been working on the eating-it-with-a-spoon idea all wekk!
