Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter (mine only has salt added, almond butter works too)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon of salt if your peanut butter has none
• water to thin if desired

Directions

• In a small sauce pan, add all of the ingredients and turn the heat to medium. Whisk well as it warms up and the ingredients become smooth. Once it comes to a boil, whisk continuously for about a minute or so until it starts to thicken up. Thats it! It happens quickly. If using almond butter, it takes a tad longer to thicken up. Keep in mind, the longer you cook it, the thicker it will get. It will thicken up a ton as it cools as well. Remove from the heat and let it slightly cool before serving. If using on pancakes or you want to thin it out, add a little water to desired thickness.
• Note: this caramel will thicken even more as it sits, so just gently reheat it or add some water to thin it out some, if desired. I added water to mine the next day.
• To make Caramel Popcorn: Just stir the hot caramel all over popped popcorn and stir around and let cool a couple of minutes.
