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.

Beat with a mixture until smooth.
Flour Mixture and Cookie Dough:

…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.

These smell so good right out of the oven.

…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.

…frosting and colored candy sprinkles of your choice.
Or top them with the mini-M&M’s.
