A Little Something For My Mom...

My mom's cool.  And because she's so cool (and it's her birthday month), I have decided to name her favorite cupcake after her.

For those of you who don't know my mom, here's a quick snapshot:

- She loves chocolate.  I inherited my sweet tooth from her.
- She encourages me to eat caramel apples because they are still fruits -- they just happen to be dipped in caramel gloriousness.  Do you see how we're related, yet?
- She likes crunchy things...rice crispies, toffee, etc.

So...chocolate + caramel + toffee = the Caramelly Nelly, a chocolate cupcake filled with caramel sauce, and topped with whipped cream and toffee bits.  A sweet treat for a sweet lady.  Happy birthday, Mom!
