When I published a recipe for blondies I said that even though we don't make it that often, it's a must-have recipe for everyone that likes sweets and baking. That's the same for a caramel sauce. You may not make it frequently but it's nice to have a recipe you like and trust, so you can make it whenever you need it.

Looks good haven't tried it yet what's the difference between golden syrup and corn syrup never used that
Hello!
Golden syrup is made from sugar and corn syrup is made from corn. They look kind of similar but they taste different. Corn syrup has a much milder taste compared to golden syrup. But I think you could substitute for golden syrup. Let me know how it turns out.
