This recipe for homemade butterscotch sauce has none of the additives or artificial flavors you’ll find in store brands and it tastes just like a Werther’s!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract or scotch whiskey
