Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Melt the butter completely and allow it to bubble slightly without browning.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter, stirring continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is homogeneous.
Slowly add the heavy cream while stirring constantly to combine. The mixture may bubble up, so be cautious. Continue to stir until everything is well blended.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, continuing to whisk until the caramel is smooth and starts to thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the caramel sauce to cool for a few minutes, enough to thicken slightly but still be pourable.
Arrange the rice cakes on a flat surface or serving platter.
Use a spoon to drizzle the warm caramel sauce over each rice cake, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Allow the caramel-coated rice cakes to cool and set for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the caramel rice cakes as a delicious snack or dessert, and enjoy the sweet, crunchy delight.
