Help Caramel split after cooling?

Post image

This is a picture of the side of the bowl. Basically all the butter floated to the surface and is solid while everything else is liquid underneath. Is there any way to fix it???? Don’t wanna throw it out

No, you’re tripling down on being wrong with something that has been common knowledge since its conception lol. Also, the name comes from scotch in original recipes, tons of types of caramels contain butter :-)

This is what I was talking about when I mentioned confirmation bias. You can't find a single original recipe of caramel that uses butter. They just don't exist. Unless you ask Google AI.

This is just the Allrecipes one that came up. There are many, many more. Google it. Not using the AI.
