A chocolate cupcake with salted caramel frosting and pretzels make a fun salty sweet treat. 

 The inspiration for these cupcakes came from my favorite flavor of frozen yogurt, Salted Caramel Pretzel. I would always get that flavor on our yogurt date nights and top it with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and more salted caramel. Tyler would always get strawberry with gummy bears. I made fun of him for that. Who want’s hard gummy bears on their frozen yogurt? But he always made fun of mine too.

 There’s something about that salty sweet combination, especially when paired with chocolate that is irresistible.
