Chocolate, Toffee and Caramel Cupcookies
These chocolate, toffee and caramel cupcookies are a unique cookie twist.
These unique cupcookies are a kind of a cross between a cupcake and a cookie.
The cookie dough is made from the recipe on the Original Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip package.
But instead of mixing chocolate chips in the cookie dough, Heath Chocolate Toffee bits are added.
And each “cookie” is baked in a mini muffin baking pan.
About this Recipe
After the cupcookies are baked in the oven, they’re shaped like a “mini bowl”.
And right out of the oven, the middle of the cupcookies are filled with either chocolate chips, white morsels, or mini M&M’s.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Chocolate chips…
…white chocolate morsels…
…mini-M&M candies…
…and caramel bits.
Cookies – Flour, baking soda, salt, butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs and Heath Chocolate Toffee Bits (there are plain Heath Toffee Bits and Heath Toffee Bits with chocolate…in this recipe, bits with chocolate are used; the packages look very similar)
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Dry Ingredients:
In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
Set aside.
Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, add butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Mix:
Beat with a mixer until creamy.
Eggs:
To the butter and sugar mixture, add the eggs.
Beat with a mixture until smooth.
Flour Mixture and Cookie Dough:
Little by little…
…beat in the flour mixture to form the batter.
Toffee Bits:
Then…
…with a large sturdy spoon, stir the Heath Chocolate Toffee Bits into the batter.
Bake:
Add muffin liners to a mini muffin tin (the total yield is about 60 mini muffins).
To each muffin liner, add 1 tablespoon of batter.
Bake in preheated oven (at 375 degrees F.) until golden brown (about 12 minutes).
If using a baking pan with 12 mini muffin cavities, make 5 batches.
Right after removing the cupcookies from the oven…
Candy Toppings:
…fill the center with pieces of either the mini M&M’s…
…or…
…white morsels…
…or chocolate chips.
These smell so good right out of the oven.
Caramel:
In a small bowl add the caramel bits and…
…warm them in the microwave for about 20 seconds and stir.
With a spoon,
…drizzle the caramel over either the mini-M&M’s, chocolate chips, or white morsels.
You may need to use two spoons so that you don’t touch the hot caramel with your fingers.
Serve:
After the cupcookies have cooled,
…top them with…
…frosting and colored candy sprinkles of your choice.
Or top them with the mini-M&M’s.

Hi, these little ones are wonderful! I’m about to try the recipe out this week, but I have a question: you said you had used mini muffin tin, but your cupcookies seem to be regular size. The only tin I have at home is for baking mini muffins and I wonder if the recipe is going to work with a smaller size of a cookie… Could you help me out:)?
Hi Jo, I thought the same thing when I looked at the pictures….the cupcookies looked so large. But they were the mini size if you can believe it. I think the macro lens I use made them look a lot bigger than they were. Thank you for asking this in case others may have the same question. Have a great day!
Thanks a lot for such a quick response! I’m making them tomorrow, will report how they turned out:).
Sounds good!
Unusual idea,these look very tasty!
How yummy are these?! haha love this!
Hi Katrina, thank you.
Fantasticno izgledaju :)))
Its hard to type while trying trying to wipe the drool off the keyboard. These look amazing. Something my 7 year old self would have created in a heartbeat 🙂 Amazing.
Hi Beth, thank you. These are fun for kids to make (and eat!)….just about any type of candy can by put in the middle of these cupcookies.
