Heat cream and chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each. When smooth, leave it alone for 10 minutes to thicken up.

Cook the sugar and water until it turns a deep amber. Slowly mix in cream, then stir in the salt, peanuts, and vanilla for flavor.

It’ll thicken more as the caramel cools.
