I'm looking at this recipe and I don't see any leavening. Should there be baking powder or self rising flour? Has anyone tried this yet?

I believe that means "already prepared" (store bought) such as smuckers or kraft caramel sauce.

How do you make the cup of prepared caramel sauce? This is the first time I've posted to this site and the first recipe I've looked at, so I may have missed something. Let me know if I have.
