There are several reason that caramel develops a butter "slick" either during cooking or during reheating. For the most part it means that there is an imbalance either in temperature or in dairy.
If it separates during the preparation add a spoon full of your cream until it holds together.
If it separates when reheating it can mean that your are warming it at too high a temperature, or that there was not enough dairy added during the cooking process.
Simply add some heated cream a spoon full at a time until it pulls together. Remember though, it will thin down the caramel some so if your making caramel apples or something that need the caramel to hold together add the minimum you can to get the desired effect from the caramel.
Some schools say add water, but I've found that I like the effect of the cream better. Either one will do the trick if your caramel separates during reheating.
