Kit-Kat Cupcakes

I had to make a treat for a family BBQ tonight, and after perusing my Pinterest, I chose these little beauties, Kit-Kat Cupcakes. And boy howdy were they delicious. So, you take a basic chocolate cake recipe, and spoon a little bit into a cupcake tin. Break a mini Kit-Kat in half, and then put the two half pieces into the tins. Cover those up with a little more cake batter, the tins being about 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for about 18-20 minutes, make sure they’re cooked through. Then, frost with this delightful frosting:

3 sticks unsalted butter, softened
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar (or more, make a decision once it’s combined)
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup caramel sauce (Like Smucker’s sauce, find it in the ice cream toppings section)

So, cream the butter, and then add the sugar and the salt. After it’s pretty well combined, add the sauce, and mix until creamy and smooth, or your desired consistency. Frost the cupcakes, and then top with a broken in half mini Kit-Kat bar.

These cupcakes were amazing. The frosting is legit one of the best frostings in the world. Make it!
