Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
• 100 grams Caramel sauce
• 50 grams Chopped nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, or pecans)
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
• 20 grams Rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)
• 12 units Mini cupcake liners

Directions

Step 1

Line a mini muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners and set aside.

Step 2

Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir continuously until smooth, then remove from heat.

Step 3

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each cupcake liner and use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides, creating a thin coat. Reserve the remaining chocolate for later.

Step 4

Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate layer to set.

Step 5

Once set, evenly distribute the caramel sauce into each chocolate cup, about 1 teaspoon per cup.

Step 6

Sprinkle a few chopped nuts over the caramel layer in each cup and add a light pinch of sea salt flakes.

Step 7

Cover the filling with another teaspoon of the reserved melted chocolate, spreading it to cover the caramel and nuts completely. Ensure the edges are sealed to create a smooth top layer.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter on top for decoration.

Step 9

Return the muffin tin to the freezer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Step 10

Carefully peel away the cupcake liners and serve immediately, or store the chocolate cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
