Dulce de Leche

I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital this past weekend and my parents (who are saints) stepped in to care for our daughter while my husband and I were at the hospital. I am so greatful that I have them so close by.

To thank my parents, decided to make them a batch of my dulce de leche cupcakes. For those that don't know, dulce de leche has a caramel flavor and is made from milk.

I've been testing and tweaking this recipe for quite some time but haven't given them to anyone until now. Here they are:

I'm happy to report that these were a big hit!
