A very late MSC: Chocolate Salted-Caramel Cupcakes

I was supposed to blog about these great mini-cupcakes on the 15th of August, but somehow life got in the way: I was worried about my dog, going from one vet-appointment to another, swamped at work and the last couple of days battling a cold an fatigue.

But, finally here they are: Chocolate Salted-Caramel Cupcakes for MS: Cupcake Club. As I had just started my diet I didn't try the whole finished product, I sampled a tiny bit of the cake, the frosting and the salted caramel. Everything tasted great on its own and my coworkers assured me that the complete cupcake was amazing too!

I only made half the recipe, which resulted into 32 mini-cupcakes. It's probably time to start saving up money for a candy thermometer, as I keep making recipes where I need one. This time I decided to wing it and try to make the caramel using a very simple tool: my eyes....

Check out here what everyone else thought of these cupcakes!

These were extremely sinful, that's why I stayed away from the finished product ;)

Yep, these look every bit as disgusting as mine! LOL. I don't like chocolate...so I am SURE that yours were a hit, too, as were mine, because the chocolate lovers in this house had them GONE in no time at all. Love your little peaks...they look so pretty.

Thank you for the tip on the candy thermometer - I've been thinking about getting one, and now that I'm the MS: Cupcakes club, I guess I better! And thanks for the tip about Foodgawker, I've just spent the last hour there. Wow! :)
