Chocolate Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Frosting

Salted Caramel Frosting

Salted caramel – one of the top three salty pairs for rich chocolate. My other favorites include a crowd favorite, pretzels, and of course, almonds! I went through a phase where I had one of these decadent Vosges’ Barcelona Bars every weekend. I haven’t seen one at my local store in a while, and get closer to ordering myself a case every day!

Anyways, this salted caramel buttercream is just sweet enough that it doesn’t overpower the hint of salty goodness that comes with it. Be cautious – the caramel can make the frosting too soft if you over do it! I know it’s hard to exercise control when it comes to salted caramel, but trust me it’s worth it.
