Caramel Pecan Cupcakes

Cupcakes are probably the favorite desserts of my little ones. I bake them very often because they are quick, cute, and tasty and because they can be decorated in various funny ways.

Chocolate and caramel is one of the most delicious and sweet combinations. But if we use quality dark chocolate, we can knock back the sweetness a bit and produce these soft, fluffy, moist, chocolate cupcakes with caramel pecan which have a delicious aromas and a fine chocolate flavor.

Enjoy!
