Just 5 Ingredients... how simple is that!?

Note: please scroll to the recipe card for the ingredient quantities and full detailed method.

• cream - choose a pouring cream or thickened cream.
• brown sugar - regular brown sugar or dark brown sugar can be used. Dark brown sugar will give the sauce a slightly richer and more fudgy flavour.
• golden syrup - this (along with the brown sugar) helps to give the sauce that beautiful caramel flavour. Golden syrup is a cane sugar syrup popular in Australian, New Zealand and British baking recipes.If golden syrup is not available where you live, you can replace it with corn syrup, honey or maple syrup.
• butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter in this recipe.
• dark chocolate - I like to use a good quality baking or cooking chocolate as it melts easily. Cadbury or Nestle are popular brands of cooking chocolate in Australia.
