Stir well. If not using sea salt for topping, add the table salt to this mixture. 3 Microwave: Cook the mixture in the microwave for 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Microwave strengths vary, so adjust the timing if necessary. After cooking, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave it will be hot and stir in the vanilla extract. 4 Set the Caramels: Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared dish. If you chose to use sea salt as a topping, nows the time to sprinkle it on. Allow the caramel to cool and set. For easier cutting, refrigerate until firm. 5 Cut and Serve: Once set and cooled, cut into pieces. If at room temperature and slightly soft, a pizza cutter sprayed with non-stick spray works well for cutting.
