This is so good! I just made this to top off a caramel pecan cheesecake (#3130) for a fundraiser. There wasn't any left to take home! I followed the instructions exactly. At first, I thought it wasn't going to work, but after a few minutes, the colour changed, and it turned out perfectly. I had to let it cool quite a bit, or it may have melted the cheesecake. Thanks for the great recipe.
