Divine. I will confess to sneak a spoonful now and then! Then pull out a medicine syringe and load it up with caramel. Inject your store-bought cupcakes with the caramel. You may have to make a slit in the wrapper.<br /><br />If you want to bake new cupcakes, the wrapped caramels that come in a bag work well. You also can use a straw to punch a hole in the top and inject some caramel into them before frosting.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396559803002410028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-23908901879120893292012-10-02T19:43:05.840-07:002012-10-02T19:43:05.840-07:00I had decent success using a 'mini' candy ...I had decent success using a 'mini' candy bar in some cupcakes earlier this year... if you don't mind a little creamier center, I found that I really enjoyed the ones that had a mini milky way in them. I do tend to bake my cupcakes about 5 minutes less than the box says. also - for just a tad bit more work, you could skip the middle of the cupcake, bake the cupcakes,cut a 'cap' from the middle and create a hollow in the cupcake and then put caramel sauce in it, replace the 'cap' and do your frosting flower on top. no one will ever know that you made a cut out of the top.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861107535980007956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-35274777134139997492012-10-02T18:54:41.580-07:002012-10-02T18:54:41.580-07:00You could try using the chocolate cake recipe on t...You could try using the chocolate cake recipe on the back of the Hershey Cocoa Powder box.

I make the cupcakes, cut about one inch off the top - I scoop out most of the cake and put a mixture of whip cream and raspberries into the void. Put the topper back on and frost with your pretty rose. Put a couple of raspberries right on top in the middle. Delicious and soooo easy.Brendakithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08732474830087295870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-31887121967937553262012-10-02T12:26:54.895-07:002012-10-02T12:26:54.895-07:00http://www.ehow.com/how_12205112_keep-caramel-soft...http://www.ehow.com/how_12205112_keep-caramel-soft-making-turtles.html<br /><br />Try this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-37312724461769154322012-10-02T11:34:17.313-07:002012-10-02T11:34:17.313-07:00I thought they were pretty tasty - I ate two of th...I thought they were pretty tasty - I ate two of them last night. :-)TubaDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852630439322351490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-23372066975890956132012-10-02T09:19:26.193-07:002012-10-02T09:19:26.193-07:00No matter how many times I make cupcakes from scra...No matter how many times I make cupcakes from scratch they turn out awful and I'm usually a pretty darn good baker.
