Dulce de Leche Surprise Flower Topped Cupcakes Recipe!

Dulce-De-Leche-Truffle-Cupcakes

Hey All!

The super kind folks at Nestlé La Lechera were kind enough to send me a surprise gift basket filled with some of my favorite products like Dulce de Leche! When I get a big box of goodies like that I always ponder what I can make with it. I said to myself I haven’t made any delicious and fun cupcakes in a while. I should do something fun with cupcakes. I still have tons of Lindt chocolate truffles since I won a year supply and I decided to make a Dulce de Leche Chocolate Truffle Surprise Cupcakes recipe to share with all of you fabulous readers. Sounds amazing I know!
