I couldn't resist incorporating caramel apple kisses into a cupcake creation. I was so happy that I did. The chocolate and caramel apple melted in my mouth in each bite. No need for frosting with these. The kisses make them rich enough. I decided to drip some chocolate dessert sauce on top to add a little extra decoration. A little extra chocolate never hurts!Caramel Apple Kiss Cupcakes

Oh GOODNESS! Those sound perfect! And the best part is that I know where to find carmel kisses. :) I'm going to make a half recipe...if I didn't all 12 I wouldn't take leftovers to work.
