nope. I’ll give you one more guess, though. 😃  
I use the caramelized stuff as a topping for ice cream, or drizzle over freshly baked chocolate cakes. **Demise** , my gawd, I never thought of that, and I buy tons of those tubs of caramel apple dip. You are my new hero!!

The cooked stuff can also be blended with powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla (for a long, long time, and you need a pretty bad ass mixer as it gets STIFF), poured into a pan, set, and cut to make caramel candies that can bring anyone to their knees.

I also use regular SCM in my tea, or ice tea when I’m so inspired to make the stuff. I always have several cans sitting around.

I once saw, at Big Lots, cans of _chocolate_ SCM. I didn’t buy any. Now I wish I had.

Put some cocoa powder into the SCM and it’s almost the same.

Well, that’s one. Only a million more, and my plans of taking over the world with my armies of brain-washed cultists will come to fruition! 😃
