Enjoy this simple and easy to make Crock-Pot Caramel Dip made in the slow cooker. Perfect for dipping apples, pretzels or drizzled over ice cream! YUM!
Slow Cooker Caramel Dip
Nothing says fall more to me than caramel apples and so, I wanted to make up a yummy homemade caramel dip in my slow cooker.
After making this caramel dip, I sliced up some juicy Honeycrisp apples as well as some tart Granny Smith apples and dipped on into this warm and gooey dip. My husband and kids got in on the action and we had a fantastic tasting snack.
Of course there are a bunch of other uses for caramel dip too…let me elaborate on some of my favs.
10 Ways To Use Caramel Dip
- Fruit Dip – Apples, sliced bananas, pears, figs, cherries and even orange slices are all fantastic dipped in warm caramel.
- Pretzel Dip – Pick your favorite size and shape of pretzels and dip on in. From classic pretzels to pretzel rods, it is all good!
- Ice Cream Topping – Warm caramel dip is just amazing when drizzled over ice cream. Vanilla and chocolate ice cream are classics but try it over your favorite ice cream flavor too!
- Apple Pie Topping – Oh yes, take an apple pie over the top with some warm caramel sauce spooned on each slice! This also works for other types of pie…peach, pear, even pumpkin pie!
- Oatmeal – A little bit of caramel sauce takes oatmeal (with or without apples in it) to the next level.
- Yogurt – I love a bowl of Greek style yogurt topped with some fresh fruit, granola and to sweeten it a spoonful of caramel stirred in.
- Coffee – Instead of adding sugar to your cup of morning joe, spoon in some caramel into your hot coffee for a homemade caramel latte (just add milk or cream).
- Hot Chocolate – Make our Crock-Pot Thick & Creamy Hot Chocolate (its amazing!) and top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel.
- Cookie Sandwiches – Take two of your favorite cookies (shortbread, chocolate chip, vanilla wafers, etc) and put a little cooled caramel in between. YUM
- S’Mores – Want to make your campfire s’mores even gooier? Add some caramel to the classic chocolate, graham cracker and marshmallow combination.
