CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH SALTED CARAMEL FROSTING AND CHOCOLATE FUDGE FILLING
Steps:
- For the chocolate cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 24-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Cream the granulated sugar, butter and oil in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fluffy. Add the vanilla and blend well. Sift the flour, baking soda and sea salt and gradually add to the sugar mixture, alternating with the milk.
- Whisk the cocoa and water until smooth in a small bowl. Add to the mixture and continue beating until well blended.
- Fill each muffin cup three-quarters full with batter. Bake the cupcakes until baked through the center, about 15 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and cool on wire racks.
- For the chocolate fudge filling: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk the cocoa and water until smooth in a separate bowl. Whisk the cocoa mixture into the butter until blended and smooth. Whisk in the powdered sugar until fluffy. Yield: 2 cups.
- For the buttercream base frosting: Whip the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and sea salt with a whisk attachment on low until smooth and creamy. Add the butter one slice at a time until well blended. Add the shortening and blend well. Whip on high until the mixture doubles, 10 to 12 minutes. Yield: 8 cups.
- For the salted caramel: Combine 1/4 cup room temperature water and the granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Boil without stirring, until the mixture is approximately 325 degrees F and a deep amber color, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove the caramel from the heat and whisk in the cream. The caramel will bubble violently. Once smooth, stir in the butter and fine sea salt. Transfer the caramel to a heat safe container and allow cooling for 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Yield: 1 1/2 cups.
- For the salted caramel frosting: Whip 2 1/2 cups buttercream base frosting, the powdered sugar and 1/2 cup salted caramel with a whisk attachment until fluffy. Yield: 3 cups.
- Once the cupcakes are cool, cut out the center of each cupcake and fill with the chocolate fudge filling. Top each cupcake with the salted caramel frosting.

Steps:
- Line a 20 x 20cm cake tin with baking parchment. Tip the sugar, cream, butter and glucose syrup into a large pan. Warm over a low heat to dissolve the sugar and melt the butter, stirring occasionally.
- When the sugar has dissolved, put a sugar thermometer in the mixture, making sure the end is completely covered by the syrup - if it's not, transfer the mixture to a smaller pan that's still large enough for the syrup to bubble. Turn up the heat to medium-high and bring the syrup to the boil, stirring occasionally to stop it catching. When the thermometer reaches 116C - or 'soft ball' stage, remove the pan from the heat.
- Leave the mixture to stand, undisturbed, for 5 mins, until the temperature drops to 110C, then stir in the vanilla bean paste and a good pinch of salt.
- Remove the thermometer, then vigorously beat the mixture with a wooden spoon, checking the temperature every minute or so until it drops again to about 60C. By this time, the mixture will be really thick and have lost its glossy shine. Take the thermometer out and continue beating the mixture for a few more minutes. This part is crucial as it helps create small sugar crystals that give the fudge its smooth, creamy texture.
- Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface using a spatula. Dot the caramel over the top, and swirl it through the fudge using a skewer. Sprinkle with 1 tsp sea salt, then leave to cool overnight at room temperature - don't put it in the fridge, as it will become sticky and won't set properly. Cut into 36 bite-sized pieces. Will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two months.

These cookies, which start with a mix, are unbelievably decadent! I like to use caramel-filled Dove chocolates. It's nice dough to make ahead, roll into balls and freeze for up to 3 months. Then just bake the cookies as you need them. -Carole Holt, Mendota Heights, Minnesota

Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a medium saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes
- 2. Melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over a medium heat, stirring constantly, takes about 5 minutes. You can also melt it in the microwave however you need stop and stir every 15 seconds so it does not burn. Pour melted butter and chocolate mixture into a mixing bowl, and allow to cool down for 10 minutes. In another bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt, set aside.
- 3. Using a wire whisk, whisk white and brown sugar into the cooled chocolate mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time to the chocolate mixture, whisking until smooth after each addition. Whisk in the vanilla extract. Now gently fold in the flour mixture, being careful not to over mix.
- 4. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 28 to 35 minutes, when the brownies begin to pull away from the edges of the pan they are done. Watch them closely after 28 minutes so they don't over cook. If they over cook they will be hard and not moist and chewy. Set pan on cooling rack and make your caramel buttercream icing.
- 5. For caramel buttercream, combine butter and brown sugar in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add cream and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and add sifted powdered sugar, now stir till smooth. Quickly pour onto your cooled down brownies, I put it on when the brownies are warm but not hot. Spread on evenly, now sprinkle lightly with course sea salt. Gently pat the sea salt so it sticks to your buttercream icing.
- 6. Cut and serve, store any leftovers in airtight container, that is if you have leftovers! Bet you can't eat just one!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 145 C. Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin.
- Melt butter in large saucepan. Take it off the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate and sea salt. Stir until smooth and leave to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Sieve the flour and cocoa powder into the wet ingredients, add the ground almonds and fold until smooth. Finally fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chunks.
- Add half the mixture to the brownie tin and smooth over surface until flat and even. Pipe the salted caramel in thick lines over the batter and then pour the remaining brownie mixture over the salted caramel. Smooth the surface and bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares. I find it best putting them in the fridge overnight prior to cutting them into squares.
