• Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
• Storage: Store leftover caramel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions

• Dip apple slices or pretzels.
• Drizzle over ice cream or yogurt.
• Spread on toast or pancakes.
• Add to your morning oatmeal.
• Eat it straight from the spoon (we won’t judge!).
