Mix the brown sugar, half-and-half, butter and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until it gets thicker. Add the vanilla and cook another minute to thicken further. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes then add the Crunch Bars and stir until melted, cool slightly and pour the sauce into a jar.
