Chocolate Caramel Buttercream

recipe and image from peabody


1 cup unsalted butter
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup caramel sauce (I used Fran’s because it’s awesome)
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
4-5 cups powdered sugar

--------------------------------------------------------------

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream together (on medium speed) butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth.

Add cocoa powder, caramel sauce, and melted chocolate to the mixer and beat on low speed at first so as not to have cocoa powder all over you. Then move speed up to medium and make sure all ingredients are incorporated and frosting is smooth.

Add the remaining powdered sugar a ½ cup at a time until you reach desired consistency.

Pipe or spread onto your cooled cupcake or cake and throw on some Rolos for extra chocolate and caramel.
