This fuss free delicious, indulgent and easy three ingredient caramel toffee sauce with honey recipe is sweet, sticky, gooey and delicious. Enjoy it in so many ways and since its homemade, its Gluten Free!
Generally I think that food with a sauce is so much better; 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.
This really could not be easier to make, simply put equal weights of honey, salted butter and soft brown sugar into a pan and heat until bubbling. Cool and decant into a jar, then enjoy. So quick and easy, fuss free at its best – and once you have made it once you will not need to refer to the recipe again.
When cooking the sauce you will know when it is done as size of the bubbles will change; they will get larger and the layer of bubbles will be thicker. Allow to cool a little – if you pour boiling sugar syrup into a cool glass jar it is very likely to shatter. Wait before you lick the spoon – boiling sugar syrup is both hot and sticky – I’ve been there and blistered the roof of my mouth when being too eager for a taste.

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.
Helen
Drizzled over cake is a perfect way to use this kind of sauce.

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!
Helen
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!
Helen
the flake sounds the perfect addition!
Donna
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! ???
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.
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.
Sarah P
Love caramel sauce so much. Great to have an easy recipe I can make myself.
Helen
It is a really handy recipe to have at hand for easy to make sauce you’ll love.
