Step 1
Combine butter, brown sugar, and cream in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Stir constantly until mixture bubbles and deepens in color, about 4–5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat. Stir in salt and vanilla. Pour onto a parchment-lined plate.
Step 4
Freeze until firm, at least 20 minutes, or overnight for easier handling.
Step 5
Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each.
Step 6
Scoop or cut caramel into 24 small pieces. Roll each between your palms into a ball.
Step 7
Dip each caramel ball into melted chocolate using a fork, letting excess drip off.
Step 8
Place on parchment. Dust with cocoa powder or sprinkles while chocolate is still wet.
Step 9
Refrigerate until set, 10 minutes, before serving. Store in an airtight container.
