Three Ingredient Caramel Toffee Sauce with Honey

Food is so much better with a sauce; crisps with dips, chicken with lots of gravy, a steak with a Stilton sauce, apple pie and custard or an indulgent sticky toffee pudding with lashings of toffee sauce.

This three ingredient toffee sauce is sticky, buttery and has a lovely almost sharp note from the honey which cuts through some of the sweetness.  Spread in a cake, put a dollop into a milkshake or even eat with a spoon straight from the jar whilst standing in front of the fridge.

How to make Toffee Sauce with Honey

a saucepan with butter, honey and brown sugar

Step one – weigh out the ingredients and add them all to a saucepan.  Add a pinch of sea salt for a salted caramel honey sauce. 

a saucepan full of bubbling honey sauce

 

Step two – heat over a medium heat stirring all the time until bubbling. The sauce is ready when the bubbles change – the layer of bubbles gets thicker and the bubbles themselves larger, and the sauce becomes sticky and will coat the back of a spoon.

Step three – Allow to cool a little. Warm some jam jars with boiling water, and decant the sauce into the jars. Wait before licking the spoon – boiling sugar syrup is very hot and sticky! 

Three Ingredient Caramel Toffee Sauce with Honey – Serving Suggestions

  • Gently warm and pour over ice cream
  • Add to a milk shake
  • Swirl through no churn ice cream
  • Drizzle over a pavlova – like my toffee cappuccino cloud pavlova
  • Spread on toast for an indulgent snack
  • Use to sandwich cakes or macarons
  • Spoon over my toffee and caramel dessert
  • Drizzled over a freshly baked honey cake.

    This sounds like a great recipe. Homemade is always best as it tastes sooo much better. I drizzle mine over cake and that works pretty well.

    So I’m pretty obsessed with caramel sauce to begin with, but adding toffee!? Be still my heart. I, also, use those old Bonne Maman jars for storing everything like this – they’re perfect!

      The jars are just the right size, and a nice wide top for easy cleaning.

    This sounds delicious and it’s certainly something I’d pour over a scoop, or 2, or vanilla ice cream! Not forgetting the added addition of a flake!

    Never made anything like this before and had no idea how long to carry on stirring once the sauce had started to bubble. Needless to say, mine’s not a sauce. I made toffee by mistake! ???

    Reply
    • Helen

      Hi Donna, Sorry that happened, I go by the size of the bubbles and it takes a few minutes, I’ll do a rework with some timings and a temperature.

      Reply
    • Heather

      Haha, yeah, I often do that when I’m trying to make caramel sauce, too! I waited for mine to bubble all over the top, then cooked it over medium heat for 1 minute. It turned out thick and syrupy. I suppose if you wanted it thinner, like caramel syrup, you could just bring it to a boil and then remove it from the heat right away.

    This sounds delicious Helen, particularly with the touch of honey. Drizzled over waffles, with banana and clotted cream. Mouth watering just thinking about it.

    Hi! Can you measure the ingredients (i.e. per cup, etc..)in equal amounts instead of weighing them?

    Reply
    • Helen

      In cup measurements, this would be the same as using half a cup in each ingredient. So yes, as long as they are equal, cup measurements are fine.

    I would like to make this for Christmas gifts. How long will it keep and does it need to be refrigerated. Can it be canned?

    Reply

      It will keep a few weeks in the fridge – I’ve not tried canning it.

    Hi, i was just wondering what the rough shelf life of this toffee caramel sauce is? It sounds delicious but I’m not sure I’d go through it that quickly. Thanks

    Reply
    • Helen

      Hi Elise,

      It will keep a good few weeks in a sealed jar in the fridge. You can always half the recipe, but be very careful when cooking a smaller quality as it is very easy to over cook it and turn it into toffee.
