To save some time and eliminate some of the stirring, try using brown sugar and sour cream. Just add about 1/3 cup each (for 2 bananas) and stir into the melted butter until bubbly. Absolutely delicious garnished with cashews and drizzled with chocolate sauce.

The caramel sauce is delicious!! I can't wait to make my own version of the iced caramel macchiato with this sauce. This will save me lots of money! Thanks for sharing.

Whoa!! The favor is amazing and if you take the time that it needs in constant stiring, it is not grainy at all. Not a very thick sauce as I was expecting, but I am sure it will work all the same.

I only made the caramel sauce...but it was FANTASTIC! I served it over bread pudding and we couldn't stop eating it. As the other reviews have noted, be patient. It will do exactly as the reviews say...you just have to stir and wait....and stir and wait...and..

I loved this...delish! I halved the recipe to begin with, it makes a ton of sauce. The trick is to keep on stirring, no matter what. It will come together. In the past I have made caramel sauce with sugar water and cream. This version is much richer tasting. A keeper for sure.

I think this recipe needs to be a little more descriptive in the cooking process. The sugar and butter clump up during the browning process which I didn't expect and then while adding the cream it siezes up into lots of hard clumps. While it did finally smooth out in the end, my spoon would get caught up on a clump stuck to the pan and I flipped sauce on my pants and the floor (which immediately got hard) Now the end result tasted good but didn't taste any better than sauce made from Brown sugar, butter and cream combined and heated. (which was much easier)

This recipe was really good . I topped mine with crushed pecans .

This was a first timer making caramel sauce from "scratch". I was a bit sceptical about the process but it tasted and turned out great. I will make this again.

Delicious and very impressive for guests. Everyone loved it.. I just need to make MORE next time! I have since started making the caramel sauce for different applications too.

This is soo yummy! It takes some time, and maybe a little practice, but I think it's worth it. I've found that it is fun to vary the deepness of the brown color in order to achieve different shades of caramel flavor. As far as grainyness, make sure you stir a lot and for a long time after adding the creme. This is what dissolves the sugar crystals. Also, it won't really thickedn until it cools. I've never used it to heat bananas, although I guess I should! I've made crepes, used the sauce as fondue, and served it over ice cream and with a spoon. It's honestly limitless.

This sauce is sooooo yummy. I didn't make it with the bananas but over the White Chocolate Blondies from this site. Just wonderful. I agree with the other posts regarding the stirring. It will separate but just keep stirring - it will come back together and brown up nicely. The whole process took maybe 10 minutes max. Worth the time!

truly and amazing sauce! I must extend a huge thank you to Reviewed on Jun. 21, 2006 by TUNISIANSWIFE for her review. I was getting really worried when the sugar turned hard and crunchy and probably would have stopped and figured I screwed up somewhere. But I put all my faith in Tunisianswife and kept on stirring! I also found mine was a little thin for my liking and left it to simmer for an extra few minutes, around 10 actually. Hope I can keep it warm until it is time to add the bananas without eating it all... Oh this is bad to the bone! :) Lorrie

I used this recipe combined with walnuts to fill crepes and it was amazing!

This was great! I only used the recipe for the caramel sauce (using regular white sugar and half & half) because my daughter wanted a caramel sundae. Personally, I thought that was a waste--this should be eaten straight from a spoon!

MMMMMM MMMMMM. Started out to use this recipe just for the Caramel sauce, then thought I would chuck in a couple of bananas anyway. Everyone gobbled up their desert. Sauce on its own would keep (if your lucky) in the fridge, but not after you have warmed fruit in it.
