I made these and they were good. I think next time I’ll add a little salt to the cupcake batter as well, to bring out the flavors.

I made them and they ROCK. I could not find instant espresso powder, I used instant coffee and they came out pretty tasty. I used Young’s Double Chocolate Stout and it worked out nicely.

Yes, I found that the recipe makes extra salty caramel and more than a cup of extra frosting, even if I iced generously. I’d cut the caramel and the frosting down by a third, then put a cup of caramel into the frosting instead of 3/4.

Other than that, I love this recipe!

Also, these cupcakes should be cooked at 350, which isn’t mentioned anywhere in the recipe.

I would like to make this yummy recipe, but would prefer not to have leftover salted caramel if possible. For those that have made it: how much salted caramel does this produce? Can I cut the recipe in half and still get the 3/4 cup I need for the frosting recipe? Thanks!
