Dulce de Leche cupcakes are a popular dessert in many Latin American countries. They are a treat that is loved by many, even those who do not have a sweet tooth. The cupcakes are made with a combination of flour, butter, sugar, milk, and toffee chips, which give them their unique flavor. The crown jewel of these cupcakes is the dulce de leche frosting, which is made by slowly cooking sweetened milk until it caramelizes. The frosting adds a rich and creamy layer, which complements the cakes perfectly. These cupcakes are great for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, and baby showers.
