Steps:
- Lightly coat bottom and sides of an 8-by-8-inch square pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; lightly spray parchment.
- In a small saucepan, combine cream, butter, and salt; heat gently over low. In a heavy medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Clip on a candy thermometer. Over high heat, cook until sugar is dissolved, swirling pan and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Continue swirling pan until sugar is a dark golden color, about 10 minutes. Carefully add warm cream mixture to pan, taking caution as it will bubble up. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramel reaches 248 degrees on candy thermometer, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer to prepared pan, sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds, and let stand, uncovered, at room temperature, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
- Transfer caramel to a large cutting board. Cut into 1-inch pieces; wrap each piece in waxed paper to seal.
