Caramel Crunch Frappe-Style Drink

Caramel goes into the coffee base and over the top, but the distinguishing crunch comes from crushed hard caramel candy added only at serving. Do not blend the candy into fine dust; irregular bits create the contrast. A small pinch of salt keeps a very sweet frozen drink from tasting one-dimensional.
