This was just out of this world. A really incredible flavor -- I can't believe it was so easy. I had it hot with some vanilla Haagen Dazs. If you like dulce de leche you'll love this.

Considering that I love caramel I wasn't really worried about liking this recipe. It was great! I added a dollop of whipped topping (though ice cream would be excellent as well) and I loved it!

So easy, so yummy and made from ingredients always on hand. Served with custard. Definite keeper.
