This Week's Sweets: Caramel Corn Cupcakes

Chocolate Chocolate Chip mini cupcakes, topped with whipped Chocolate ganache, and homemade caramel corn.

These cupcakes were YUMmy. I used this chocolate ganache recipe. It's my absolute FAVORITE. It's not your traditional recipe, as it includes butter, but that gives it a nice thick texture, which I love. And the caramel corn was made with my great grandmother's recipe, which I'm not allowed to publish for threat of death. 

I guess the moral of the story is, don't be afraid to go CRAZY with your desserts.

Amazing Chocolate Ganache Recipe

18 oz Milk Chocolate Chips

1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1 Cup Butter

1 teaspoon Vanilla

Place chocolate chips in a bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, bring cream, butter, and vanilla just to a boil. Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate chips and whisk until smooth. Place in fridge to let cool and thicken until desired consistency (about 1 hour). You can dip cupcakes or cookies in the ganache if you leave it at a more liquid consistency, or if you let it thicken you can spread it on cupcakes or cakes like frosting.

PS It's also good heated back up and poured over ice cream. Not that I ate a huge bowl of ganache covered ice cream...ok I did.
