Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Place baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
2 In large bowl, beat cake mix, buttermilk, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, 30 minutes.
3 In 3-quart saucepan, melt caramels with whipping cream over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Cool 5 minutes. Spoon mixture into medium resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag. Twist bag above frosting. To fill cupcakes, insert tip of plastic bag halfway into cupcake center and squeeze until you see caramel start to surface.
4 Frost cupcakes with frosting; drizzle with remaining caramel. Sprinkle with pecans and sea salt.

I was planning on making these for a shower ... good thing I tried a batch before I committed ... the cake part was really dry, which was a let down after all the time it took to make them. The idea is good ... really disappointed.

It says to melt caramels and whipped cream but doesn't say anything about the frosting. When do you add the frosting?

These are decadent and delicious! I've made them a few times now and I find that I have a better finished product if I use a melon baller and remove the top center, fill with carmamel filling and replace. Let this cool before icing. I also use a very coarse salt to sprinkle on top. The sweet/salty combination is delicious.
