Indulge your sweet tooth with these incredible Toffee Sundae Cupcakes! A beautiful marriage of buttery toffee and rich chocolate will have you floating in cupcake heaven.
Ingredients
  • 8 jumbo chocolate cupcakes, baked and cooled
  • 8 waffle bowls
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup caramel sundae sauce
  • ⅛ tsp kosher salt
  • Toffee bits
  • Sprinkles
  • Maraschino cherries
  • FOR CHOCOLATE SUNDAE TOPPING:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup oil
Instructions
  1. First, make your frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the caramel sauce, salt and heavy cream and beat together. Gradually begin adding the powdered sugar, about one cup at a time, until frosting is light and fluffy. Add more or less powdered sugar to achieve your desired consistency.
  2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, melt chocolate, butter and oil until smooth. Remove from the heat.
  3. Place an unwrapped jumbo chocolate cupcake inside of the waffle bowl. Pipe the frosting generously onto the tops of each cupcake--I really loaded it on!
  4. Take a spoonful of the chocolate sundae topping and drizzle it on top of the frosted cupcakes. Immediately garnish with toffee bits, sprinkles and cherries if you'd like. Serve immediately!
  5. *If you can't find jumbo cupcakes, you could always bake the cupcake batter into small waffle cones, or use regular-sized baked and cooled chocolate cupcakes to place inside of the bowls.
