Instructions
- To make the caramel sauce, melt the butter, honey, water and peanut butter together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until fully combined. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened and turned a dark brown. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in salt. And let cool for at least 5 minutes.
