Chocolate and caramel is a no brainer combination but the reason I wanted to make these specific cupcakes is when I was 14 all I wanted for my birthday was a chocolate cake with caramel treat and peppermint crisp! Until today the one my Mum made for me on my 14^{th<\/sup> Birthday has always been my favourite birthday cake.<\/p>\n}

Since I was pressed for time I used Ina Paarman’s Chocolate Cake Box Mix. It was so quick and easy and it made 36 mini cupcakes! This is great for anyone who needs to bakein a hurry. The mix was R53,95 so it is definitely cheaper to bake from scratch but if I think of the weighing and cleaning process, this one bowl mix is a treat to make.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chocolate & Caramel Cupcakes<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/u><\/p>\n

\n
• 1x Ina Paarman Chocolate Cake Mix (Makes 24 cupcakes or 2 round cakes or 1 rectangular cake)<\/li>\n
• 1x tin caramel treat<\/li>\n
• \u00bd tub whipping cream<\/li>\n
• 1x slab Aero mint bubbles or peppermint crisp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Method:<\/u><\/p>\n

  \n
  1. Make the cake according to the instructions.<\/li>\n
  2. When the cake springs back when touched it is ready.<\/li>\n
  3. To make the icing beat the tin of caramel treat until there are no lumps (very important!)<\/li>\n
  4. Add \u00bd tub of cream and beat. Pipe or spread icing onto the cupcakes or cake. Top with pieces of mint chocolate and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     Tips:<\/p>\n

     Keep the icing cold, if it starts to get runny put it in the fridge. Since this made 36 cupcakes and I only had 2x trays (24 cupcakes) I kept the mixture aside while the 2 trays were baking. Then I baked the last 12 and the mixture did not seem to be compromised!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
