Three of the best ingredients and flavors, all rolled into one. Love it!

Love the combination. You can also bypass the caramel process and use Dulce De Leche | Nestlé® La Lechera, a Hispanic product by Nestle which is caramelized sweetened condensed milk. I used it extensively when I lived in Costa Rica. I Enjoy all your recipes. The Dulce La Lechera is available in the US in the Hispanic aisles of most stores.
