This is one of our favorites! It's easy, delicious, and it doesn't take long to make. When we double it, we still just put 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of whipping cream, but we add a can of tomato paste. (And double everything else.)


Also, we don't put sugar in it. Play around with it...it'll turn out awesome. :)
