October is National Caramel Month

It's October, and it's time to reacquaint yourself with your oven. The following few months traditionally mean the appearance of such delicious baked goods as hot cinnamon rolls, cakes, desserts, cookies, and candies. In all these categories, caramel is often a delicious and central ingredient. In its basic form, caramel is simply sugar that has slowly been melted and allowed to congeal a bit. The wrapped caramels often used in modern baking usually include fats like milk or butter. Many people would agree that caramel and baked goods go together in heavenly fashion!
