Salted Caramel Chocolate Cups

Okay okay believe me when I tell you that, for all salted caramel lovers, these are the perfect treat – scrumptious, moreish, divine, magnificent, delicious and any other superlative you can think of!

I have had them in my mind’s eye for a while - I can’t resist salted caramel and add it to any recipe I can. For example – it makes a perfect topping to my light fluffy banana cake (you should totally try that one out!!!!) as a filling in the chocolate salted caramel cupcakes – as a topping on the salted caramel cheesecake or even drizzled over ice cream – it’s heaven every time!

I have been in love since I was first introduced to salted caramel! And the best bit is that it is just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo quick and easy to make.

When I first started working on a recipe I had imagined that it would be a lot harder and time consuming! Simple, delicious and irresistible – who could honestly ask for more!!

Well that is where the salted caramel cups come in! The chocolate is simply an amazing casing for this incredible caramel! Making them an extra special treat and the perfect gift if you can keep enough back! ;)

So let’s get baking! :)
