About Caramel topping

Caramel topping is a prepared sweet topping based on caramelized sugar, sold for spooning or pouring over foods. Products may contain water, dairy, or other ingredients, and the name alone does not specify a standard formula. It is commonly packaged in bottles, jars, or squeeze containers for ready-to-use application.

It generally has a smooth, glossy appearance and a sweet cooked-sugar flavour, sometimes with buttery or toasted notes. Its consistency ranges from thin and pourable to thick and slow-flowing. Although often similar to caramel sauce, a topping is defined by its use and may differ in thickness and formulation from a sauce intended for broader cooking.
