Fun Food Holidays™ April 5th is National Caramel Day

National Caramel Day

Caramelizing sugar just might be the process that led to coining the term "sticky-sweet." The word caramel might make you think first of candy, but this concoction of melted and browned sugar goes into recipes for desserts, cocktails, even entrees. Whether it's caramel apples, pralines, caramel rolls, flan, or one of those sweet and savory entrees, CDK has some seven hundred recipes that fit the bill for your sticky-sweet tooth!
