If you heat vanilla the alcohol base in the extract evaporates, taking the delicate flavor compounds with it.

I would not recommend substituting half and half. It’s just not thick enough and the caramel won’t set up.

Oh my. That’s a mistake that I’ve fixed. A “4” got in the recipe card by mistake. There’s a one hour chill time, so the total time is about an hour and a half.
