How to make smooth and velvety caramel sauce

Here's some pro tips on how to make smooth and velvety caramel sauce. First, only stir your sugar when you place it in the pan. When your sugar mixture is boiling and clear, no stirring, just swirling. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to eliminate any sugar crystals that may have formed on the edges of your pan. Once your sugar turns a beautiful dark amber, immediately remove from the heat and add butter and cream. Stir to combine. Add just a touch of vanilla for flavor and of course some salt for that perfect salty sweet combination. Stir one more time to combine. Let rest for 30 minutes and just like that you have beautiful smooth velvety caramel sauce perfect to top a dark chocolate brownie. Enjoy!
