Caramel & Crumble Cupcakes

With this recipe, you’ll create a cupcake one can’t refuse. It’s light, elegant – not overly sweet – yet overly indulgent thanks to the caramel and chocolate pairing in the ganache and the drizzle. Remember: when your guests or customers notice there’s a chocolate and caramel combination on the menu, they can’t resist!
