Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture darkens in color, and begins to "pull away" from the sides of the pan. (You will likely see an increase in the volume of bubbling right before this point.)
To confirm "done-ness", use the cold water test. Using a spoon, pour a drop of the mixture into a glass of cold water. Mixture should form a ball that stays together, but is still pliable - "soft ball" stage is what we're going for. If mixture strings out in the water rather than forming a ball, cook for a minute or two longer and try again.
Pour caramel into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch pan. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt if desired. Allow to cool completely before cutting. (It's ok to place in the fridge to speed up the cooling).
To store, wrap cut squares in parchment paper, and store tightly-covered, in a cool location.
