  Line a 13" X 9" pan with parchment, letting ends extend
  up sides. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and
  vanilla until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg
  yolk. In another bowl, whisk flour and salt; gradually
  beat into creamed mixture.
  
  Spread into prepared pan (dough will be sticky).
  Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. Bake
  until edges are lightly browned and center is dry, 20-25
  minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  
  Meanwhile, in a large heavy saucepan, combine caramel
  filling ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat,
  stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to maintain a low
  boil; cook and stir until mixture is amber colored and
  reaches 225ºF/107ºC, 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat;
  quickly pour over cooled crust. Let cool 15 minutes;
  refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  
  For ganache topping, place chocolate in a small bowl. In
  a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over
  chocolate; let stand 5 minutes. Stir with a whisk until
  smooth. Pour over caramel layer. If desired, sprinkle
  with sea salt. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
  Lifting with parchment, remove shortbread from pan. Cut
  into bars. Store in an airtight container in the
  refrigerator.
