I have this caramel stuff. Can't remember why I bought it but short of sticking a straw in it and drinking I'm not sure what to do with it. I could shove a bit in buttercream I suppose but would like some other ideas?

Do you remember why you bought it?!

Make a milkshake

Oh I've just seen on the bottle that it actually says it's for coffee. Literally been in my cupboard for about 18 months and I've never noticed.

Or in a hot choc, over pancakes, French toast

In hot chocolate? Mixed with milk for caramel milkshake?

purplecorkheart · 28/06/2020 13:42

Could u use it as a flavouring in a cake? To be honest if its in date I would probably just give it away to someone who likes flavoured coffee.

There's loads of ideas on this site

Add a spoon to sweet & sour sauce, BBQ sticky ribs marinade/sauce, when frying onions to go with burgers, when gazing a ham joint, add to any marinade where you are using honey, drizzle over popcorn, add to baked apples/apple crumble/apple tart, add to chocolate sauce.

Fry bananas in it as a topping for pancakes.

My ss like a bit of raspberry syrup on top of his porridge. Maybe you could try with caramel?

Crowdedhouse You can add tofu to smoothies to up the protein content.

CatBatCat · 28/06/2020 15:26

Add to milk and ice and put it in the blender for a caramel milkshake slushy thing.

Anyone got a suggestion for two tubs of marshmallow fluff?

SuddenArborealStop · 28/06/2020 17:15

Fluffernutters or rice crispie treats?

Ihavenoidewhatsgoingon · 28/06/2020 17:23

Marinade your tofu and put use it in place of chicken when making Chinese food.

Caramel syrup - drizzle it over hot apple crumble with ice cream
