Delightful Christmas treats featuring a rich layer of chocolate and a gooey caramel filling, perfect for the holiday season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ⅔ cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound chocolate almond bark
  • holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Place 36 mini cupcake liners in a mini cupcake tin. Set aside.
  2. MAKE THE BOTTOM CHOCOLATE LAYER: In a large bowl, melt half of the chocolate almond bark in 30-second increments in the microwave until melted and smooth.
  3. Spoon a little bit of the chocolate into each cupcake liner.
  4. Using a small spoon or even a paintbrush, spread the chocolate up the sides of the liners. If the chocolate layer seems too thin, you can add a bit more chocolate to the cup and spread up the sides some more. You want to make sure you cannot see the bottom of the liner.
  5. Set the chocolate cups aside to harden.
  6. MAKE THE CARAMEL: While the chocolate cups are setting up, add the sugar to a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat on the stove.
  7. Let the sugar slowly melt, stirring as little as possible and very gently. The sugar will melt until there are no lumps and it is an amber color. This can burn and become bitter if you let it get too dark.
  8. As soon as the sugar has reached the correct color, remove it from the heat and very slowly whisk in a thin stream of the heavy cream until it is all combined.
  9. Pour the caramel carefully into a bowl and set in the fridge for 30 minutes to thicken up.
  10. ADD THE CARAMEL TO THE CHOCOLATE CUPS: Once the caramel is thicker, you can spoon it into the chocolate lined muffin liners.
  11. You want to fill the shells up almost to the top of where the chocolate ends but not over it.
  12. ADD THE TOP CHOCOLATE LAYER: Melt the remaining chocolate almond bark.
  13. Spoon chocolate over the top of the caramel cups and gently spread it to the edges of the liners.
  14. Sprinkle with the holiday sprinkles.
  15. Place the cups into the fridge for another hour to completely set.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overheat the sugar while melting to avoid a bitter taste.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot for even heat distribution while making caramel.
  • Feel free to customize the holiday sprinkles for added cheer!
