I blogged a while back about my frustration with the salted caramel cupcake. (My favorite flavor!) I haven't been able to find one I love! Now I am thinking I can bake one myself. Can I?? Seems like a serious undertaking. My goal is to have my cupcake taste like the Bespoke Chocolates salted caramel truffle (with pretzel pieces!):

SO freaking good. The salt is definitely there, but not overpowering. The caramel is liquid-y and true, with a sort of smokiness underneath it all. I want that in my cupcake. Does anyone have a recipe they absolutely love? I mean, not just a "here's a recipe I use for salted caramel" but a "I'm head-over-heels in love with this recipe and it's only because I like you that I am willing to share" kinda recipe. I'd prefer a vanilla cake base, but will try a chocolate one if you have one you thinks is top-notch.

These have a chocolate base, but I'm planning on using the left over salted caramel that I have to make vanilla ones.
