  3. Gently fold half of the caramel sauce into the cream cheese base with a spatula to create swirls.
  4. Fold in the Cool Whip using a figure-eight motion, stopping once a few streaks remain for a marbled look.
  5. Spread dip into a serving dish, drizzle remaining caramel on top, swirl with a toothpick, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  6. Chill for about 30 minutes or serve immediately, pairing with apple slices, graham crackers, or pecans.
