If you are a returning follower of my blog, then you know that I am a cupcake lover. I have a Sweet and Salty Cupcakes Recipe for you to try. I wanted to share this with you all. I enjoy sitting down and eating a little sweet and salty treats together. The two together are great. I often eat kettle corn too and if you have ever had that, then you know what I am talking about. The sweet and salty taste together.
I wanted to come up with a cupcake that I could make that would incorporate the two together. This was the outcome. Not only do they taste really good, but they look really nice too.
My husband, to my surprise, really liked this Sweet and Salty Cupcakes Recipe. He normally wants either sweet or salty and not the two together. That was not the case with these. He sat down and took his first bite and that was all she wrote. He was really impressed, just as I was. They are so good. Even the cupcake itself is so moist. The frosting and the topping on top of the frosting make the taste stand out. I so hope that you will try this recipe.
The below Sweet and Salty Cupcakes Recipe is below for your convenience. I love to share recipes with you so that you can try something different at home for your family. It is always interesting to be able to see new or different recipes that you have not seen before. If you decide to make these, come back and let me know if you did anything differently than what I did with my cupcakes. Do you like a little saltiness with your sweets? Now is your chance to make your very own cupcakes with a little bit of both!
