Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. If you’re out of brown sugar, you can substitute it with a mixture of white sugar and molasses. To save time, you can use pre-chopped nuts. Ensure the biscuit balls are evenly spaced in the pan for even cooking. For a fun twist, add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the caramel sauce.
Serving Suggestions
This caramel coffee ring is best served warm, making it a delightful companion to morning coffee or tea. It pairs beautifully with Charlotte'S Soup for a cozy brunch. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an indulgent dessert. Drizzle some extra caramel sauce on top for added sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover caramel coffee ring in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place individual pieces in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do if my caramel sauce doesn't thicken?
If your caramel sauce isn't thickening, ensure that it's boiling for long enough to evaporate some of the water. You can also add a little cornstarch mixed with water to help thicken it, but be careful not to overdo it.
