Caramel Cupcakes

Ok I have so gotten into the trend of cupcakes and have started finding recipes and putting my own twist on them. Here is one of my favorites.

First you need to make some of that yummy homemade caramel sauce that I just posted perviously.

Cupcake:

1 3/4 c. flour

3/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 c. dark brown sugar

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 c. milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using 18 cupcake liners, line muffin tins.

In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl combine sugars and butter together on medium high speed 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Add flour mixture, alternating with the milk beating on low speed until just combined. Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cup, filling about 2/3 full. Bake 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. Once cupcakes have cooled inject caramel into the middle of each one.

Frosting:

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/2 c. butter, softened

4 c. powder sugar

4 heaping tablespoonfuls of homemade caramel sauce

Mix all together and frost cupcakes. Sprinkle crushed heath bars on top. Enjoy.
