Hi,
I was wondering which low fat spread you use and which caramel flavouring, as I suppose different makes will produce different results
Thanks in advance

    Hi Michelle, we used Flora Light and Foodie Flavours Caramel Flavouring, although there are other brands available that should work just as well. Hope this helps.
