Easy 3-Ingredient Caramel Fondue dip you can whip up either in the microwave, or in a crockpot. Rich, gooey caramel sauce for dipping all of your favorite treats!
I love easy desserts with limited ingredients and this caramel fondue takes the cake. Honestly I think it’s the easiest dessert I’ve ever made. Almost too easy to call it a recipe. But it is a recipe. So I’m sharing it. Because you really need this fantastic stuff in your life.
You can make it either in the microwave – for practically instant gratification (we all have those days), or in the crockpot – for an easy peasy dessert to serve at a party. The slow cooker is nice for serving larger groups and keeping the fondue warm for a longer time. Either way it’s a walk in the park. A freakishly delicious walk in the park.
There’s no end to the number of things you can dip into this caramel sauce. I’ve tried apples and other fruit (bananas, strawberries – yummmm), pretzels, cookies, chocolates, marshmallows (no shame in dipping sugar in more sugar…). If you’ve got a party coming up, or just a passionate craving for something sweet and irresistible, you need to make this. It really couldn’t get easier or tastier.

How long would this Caramel De LA Crumb last in the fridge?
Can I make this using the caramel bits? If so, what would be the amount
Would this be okay in a chocolate fountain?
Muito bom parabéns
Does the caramel dip solidly if cooled? I would like to have a caramel apple bar!
Hi! I will be making this for my son’s college grad party and I wOukd like to know if i can make it ahead and reheat it in the microwave?
Yes! That should work!
If it is too thick after reheating, just stir in a few tablespoons of heavy cream or half and half
