Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the cups of two 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes (or melt it in a double boiler).
- Put the granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the melted chocolate and beat to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk, and beat on low until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, about 1/4 cup batter in each. Bake until the cupcakes are domed slightly and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
- For the icing: Make the icing right before you are ready to frost the cupcakes. Combine the granulated sugar, buttermilk, butter, baking soda and vanilla in a medium to large heavy-bottomed saucepan (the liquid will double in volume). Insert a candy thermometer, bring to a boil and boil over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches soft-ball stage (235 degrees F), 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat as it hits the soft-ball stage to avoid over caramelizing.
- Working very quickly but carefully, pour the caramel into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium-high speed until cooled to warm, about 5 minutes. Working quickly, spoon about a tablespoon of the caramel icing onto each cupcake. (Caramel hardens a little as it cools; whip in a splash of heavy cream to loosen it up if needed.) Let stand until set, about 5 minutes. Decorate with edible silver dragees.
LISA HERREN'S 100 GRAND CUPCAKES
I made these for my friend's birthday knowing that her favorite candy bar is the 100 Grand bar. The idea for the icing came from the Peanut Butter Passion Cake recipe posted on this website. A big thank you for that recipie since I can imagine several variations. I love caramel and thought that they were absolutely divine! (This is my first recipe to post!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line muffin pans with paper liners (makes 24).
- Combine all ingredients for the cupcake in a large mixing bowl and beat well, approximately 4-5 minutes. For uniform sized cupcakes, use an ice cream scoop to fill each liner. Bake approximately 18-20 minutes or until cupcakes spring back when touched lightly. Cool completely before frosting.
- For the icing: (Best to do this step several hours or even overnight and refrigerate before icing cupcakes.) Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese with the confectioner's sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in caramel topping. With a spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
- Pipe icing onto cupcakes. Dust with gold sugar and top with diced candy bar pieces. Keep refrigerated.
