Caramel and chocolate sauces recipes

[ElsieD]

I would like to make gift jars for family members of chocolate sauce and caramel sauce.  I was unable to find anything in eGullettRecipes.  Does anyway have a recipe they would care to share or can link me to one?  I'd like recipes that people have made and are comfortable with.  Many thanks.

Do you need something that will be shelf stable?  Opinions vary on whether that’s possible.

No, they are intended for short term usage, and kept refrigerated.

David Lebovitz, The Perfect Scoop, p.170, Creamy Caramel Sauce.  The only one Ed will accept on his homemade ice cream.

 

And Magic Shell Chocolate Sauce.  Don't have a written recipe for it...simply know how to make it.  150 gm chocolate; 100 gm coconut oil.  Melted and mixed.  Add a dash of salt.  That's it.  It solidifies depending upon room temperature.  So in the winter, it stores solid and I heat it a bit in the microwave before serving.  Kids and "youthful" (gave up trying to find a suitable adjective) men like it.   Oops.  Does not need refrigeration.

Not a straight caramel sauce, but I have done Alton Brown's Dulce de Leche recipe numerous times with great success.

For added lusciousness, I would add in some chocolate at the end to melt in.
