Рецепт Chocolate Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting
Chocolate Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting for #Chocolateparty
So, I know that all of you who know me, know that I love chocolate. So when I came across Roxana’s Home Baking site and her #chocolateparty a few months ago, I was all in. I love this months theme for #Chocolate party This month it is all about chocolate and caramel. Any recipe with these two ingredients will do. Thanks to our very gracious hostess Roxana’s Home Baking for coming up with this wonderful idea. You can’t go wrong with chocolate and caramel in my opinion. So this month when I was on the Facebook group for #chocolateparty, I noticed a lot of my blogger friends were leaning towards brownies. I decided to go a bit outside of the box and make cupcakes. So if you would like to join the #chocolateparty scroll down to the rules and join in on the chocolate fun!
