Super yummy and fast Caramel Sauce!

1 can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
Take off the lable on the can


What To Do

Take out that crock pot – you can to this recipe on the stove top. (stove top is faster, but you have to make sure the can is ALWAYS covered while keeping the water boiling, so use the crockpot... and relax!)

It is important to use either a saucer or a little bowl under the can – so the can does not leave a rust ring on the bottom of your crockpot.

Once the can is in place fill up the crock pot with water till it covers over the top of the can, and a few inch's more.

Put the crock pot on low for 8 hours


With tongs take the can out of the water and let sit for 30 minutes ( it is going to be plenty hot)

Open the can – stir

You won't believe this can happen..... but believe me it's will be the best Caramel Sauce you have ever had!!!!!

2 Ingrediant Pumpkin cake!

Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Cake with Apple Cider Glaze

For the Cake:

1 Yellow Cake Mix (do not add eggs or oil to the mix, just the mix!)

1 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree



For the Glaze:

1-1/2 cups powdered sugar

3 Tablespoons apple cider

3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or add your own spice's, I can't have Cinnamon, so I leave it out)

Empty the contents of the boxed cake mix and pumpkin puree into a large bowl. Using a hand-mixer or stand mixer beat until well incorporated. The batter will be very thick, but will come together nicely.

Pour batter into a greased 7 x 11 X 2 pan. This is the small, rectangular-sized pan from your Pyrex set. You know, the set you had to have when you got married and rarely ever used all the pieces. Finally, you have a use for it.

Bake at 350 degrees for 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not over bake.

Let cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan, then flip onto a platter.

Make the glaze while you're waiting.

Combine powdered sugar, apple cider and pumpkin pie spice. Glaze should be thick but pourable. Add more sugar or cider if needed. Pour over the cake while still warm. Reserve some to pour over each slice when served.



Serve warm or room temperature.
