Is that caramel pull mesmerizing or what?
I’ve used this homemade caramel sauce in tons of recipes, such as my viral Protein Twix Bars, my salted caramel apple pie cookies, and more
You’ll notice collagen peptides are one of the ingredients listed in the caramel. You’d never know it, but it dissolves pretty much completely yet leaves for this goooey texture! They can be left out if you prefer, and it won’t alter the taste, just know that they play a decent role in the gooeyness!

These look and sound great. Can these be made without the collagen powder please?
Yes, they can. The collagen adds a bit of gooey-ness to the caramel, but taste wise they will be great without the collagen too
