Step 1
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is completely melted, stir in the brown sugar. Whisk the mixture briskly and constantly for 2 minutes on medium-low heat.
Step 2
The mixture will barely start to bubble. Briskly stir in the heavy whipping cream.
Step 3
Add in the vanilla extract. Raise the heat to medium, and briskly stir for another 2 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the mixture from the heat. It will be relatively thick, but not as thick as a caramel sauce. Pour the mixture into a heat-safe jar, and place it in the fridge.
Step 5
After about 30 to 45 minutes, the mixture will be a thick and delicious caramel sauce. Now it's time to stir in a little bit of salt to your desired preference. Start with 1/2 teaspoon, and increase the amount of salt to desired preference.
