I use this caramel for making diary-free Twix® bars! It has a delicious caramel flavor, and is just as yummy as all those non-vegan alternatives out there. In fact, I'm not vegan, and I prefer it! You could make it a little harder to make caramel candies, or a little runnier for dipping caramel apples.
Ingredients

- 0.33 cups brown sugar

Combine coconut milk, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons margarine, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Heat on low, watching carefully and stirring occasionally, until mixture registers 236 degrees F (113 degrees C) on an instant-read or candy thermometer. Remove from heat. Mix in any grease that separated from the mixture, or carefully pour it off.

Burek
This burek recipe is Eastern European in origin. My mom is from Bosnia and made this for me while I was growing up — my whole family always looked forward to it. Serve with Balkan-style yogurt for authenticity.
Rum Sauce
This rum sauce is lovely when served over bread pudding. I use the leftovers to drizzle over vanilla ice cream.
Richer Than Rich German Chocolate Ice Cream
This richer-than-rich German chocolate ice cream recipe combines coconut, toasted pecans, Baker's sweet German chocolate, and heavy cream — enough said. It's unsurpassable! I have made this many times, and everyone loves it (unless they don't like coconut).
