Chocolate muffins with a toffee frosting

/Chocolate and toffee is one of my weaknesses...so why not having both?

Ingredients: 
  • 110 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 50g cocoa
  • pinch of salt
  • 150g cold butter
  • 200g brown sugar
  • 200ml cream 15%
  • 2 eggs
if you are a chocolate lover use as well:
  • 50g chopped dark chocolate
  • 100g peanuts
For the toffee frosting:
  • 1 cup of cream
  • 2 spoons of brown sugar
  • 2 spoons of melasa 
  • 1 package of vanille sugar
Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180°C and place 12 paper cases into muffin tins. Prepare two mixing bowls. Put the chopped butter into the one of the bowls add all the dry ingredients: flour, cacao, baking powder and salt. Work with your fingers until the mixture will look like crumbles. Add the chopped chocolate and sugar and steer with a spoon. Add all the wet ingredients to the second bowl: cream 15% and eggs and beat together. Pull the creamy mixture into the chocolate mixture and combine together.
Use tablespoons to evenly divide the mixture between the paper cases. Remember to fill the tins only 2/3 of their height. Bake 20-25 minutes.

Prepare the toffee frosting. Pull the cream together with the sugars into a pot and cook on a low heat until the sugar caramelizes and becomes sticky, it can take you 30minutes or more. Remember to steer from time to time to avoid the toffee from burning. When your muffins are ready take a tea spoon and spread some toffee over the top of your muffin, decorate with peanuts.

You will see you will love them :)
