Comments

This sounds good, but I have yet to find a commercial caramel sauce that is vegan. They always contain butter and/or cream. There are ways to make a vegan sauce at home, however, and you can find them in many vegan cookbooks or on line.

If anyone has a vegan caramel sauce you have made and liked, please send the recipe. We'll add it to our collection.------Eve
