• In a large bowl, beat the butter until softened.
• Beat in 1/2 cup fully cooled caramel sauce (you will need to measure out 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce you made - you will not need all the caramel you made), vanilla extract and salt.
• Beat in 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, starting with the mixer on low speed.
• If needed beat in the rest of the sugar, if needed, for thicker, sweeter frosting. If your frosting seems a little too thick, beat in the cream 1 tablespoon at a time.

• Optionally drizzle with additional salted caramel.
