Homemade, from-scratch, whiskey caramel sauce made with Fireball whiskey for extra cinnamon flare! You’ll want this Fireball Whiskey Caramel Sauce on EVERYTHING!

We have to talk about this Fireball Whiskey Caramel Sauce, and it needed to be sooner than later. I have a million and one other fall recipes to share (you just wait!), and they were lined up in front of this recipe. I’ve been baking fall recipes for weeks now, and have an enormous pile of drafts. Somewhere around 40 – it’s crazy.

All of those recipes can wait.I only made this Fireball Whiskey Caramel Sauce last weekend, but I had to move it to the top of the list. It’s that good.

But also, if I’d made this sooner, I would’ve been able to douse a lot of my previous baking alllll over with this caramel sauce. Apple crisps, pies, muffins.. lots of things that are coming up in the next few weeks, and they could’ve been smothered in Fireball Whiskey Caramel Sauce.

I’m saving you from making that mistake. Make this caramel sauce now, and then whatever else you bakethis fall, you have it on hand to drizzle generously over whatever it is. Doesn’t even matter, you’ll want this on everything.

However, you don’t even need it on ANYTHING because it’s so delicious that you can just eat it straight from the jar, like I may have done.

I had a few ideas for incorporating Fireball into baking, and some of that is still to come (see here for Fireball Apple Crispor Whiskey Walnut Spice Cake!), but one idea that I was exceptionally proud of was this caramel sauce. I was planning to make whiskey caramel for an upcoming recipe, and as my mind was brainstorming different ways to put a new spin on that recipe, I came up with the idea of Fireballwhiskey caramel. My excitement went through the roof.

I later found out that it’s been done before (what hasn’t?), but I didn’t know that when I came up with it, and so I’m still proud of this ‘original’ idea.

I used an old recipe I had for whiskey caramel sauce, and just subbed Fireball. It. is. incredible. You really get all the flavors, but none are overpowering, andall make their presence known. It’s not too boozy, but you really taste the cinnamon whiskey. It’s not overly whiskey-ish and alcohol-tasting, but you definitely get whiskey, and you know that it’s cinnamon whiskey.

It’s sweet and ooey and gooey, just how you want your caramel sauce, but not cloying. It helps to have that whiskey cut through it.

Ugh, how else do I describe it? You just have to try it. It takes about 15 minutes to make, and it’s EASY. So get to work, and report back. I know you’ll love it too. It is THE BEST topping I’ve ever tried, and I promise you’ll agree!
