Vanilla Bean-Sea Salt Caramels

I am caramel obsessed. Chewy, saucy, crunchy, whatever—I love it all, and I make it often. Any good caramel recipe includes a splash of vanilla to heighten the flavor of the caramelized sugar. But in this recipe, the vanilla flavor is the star. The secret is to steep the bean in the cream, which permeates the entire pot of caramel with pure vanilla flavor.
