Kit Kat Cupcakes with Caramel Buttercream Frosting

Sinful chocolate cupcakes packed with Kit Kat bars and crowned with caramel buttercream frosting assured to make you smile.

Have a concept but then have difficulty strolling it, so that you maintain trying? I ended up making this Cupcakes Kit Kat three instances before it worked. Persistence truly works because you won't believe how rich and amusing this decadent cupcake is! I'm now not sure which component is my favorite - cupcake or frosting. Not only does the flavor play properly together, contrasting colors simply make the pop frosting. I am very satisfied to proportion this, I surely rearranged my submit calendar so that you don't ought to wait any longer.

Well, it's not as straight forward as I expected. First, the recipe I chose to evolve made 14 cupcakes, no longer 12 as shown. This makes me marvel if there are different-sized pans. I adjusted the ingredients listing and attempted again. 10.five cupcakes. Not too! Finally, on my third try, I was given 12 cupcakes exactly. After all, who desires to drag extra pans?

As a long way as including the Kit Kat bar to the middle, properly it is also no longer straight forward. Candy tends to move slightly after you upload the mixture to it. Some certainly remain in the middle as intended. Some are in the center but scattered a touch. The others made the bars drift upwards. You can see the Kit Kat sticking out of this cupcake:
