Heat oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add sugar and extract; mix well. Gradually add flour, beating well after each addition.
Microwave caramels and half-and-half in small microwaveable bowl on high 1 1/2 minutes or until caramels are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 1 minute. Cool 5 minutes.
