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.

Browned butter and peaches make these cupcakes with a tender, moist crumb perfect for summertime celebrations. Peaches have to be my absolute favorite fruit to eat fresh in season and I’m starting a love affair with browned butter. It is tempting to substitute it in every recipe calling for plain old butter. That rich, nutty flavor is enchanting, and is perfect paired with a sweet, juicy peach. These Brown Butter Peach Cupcakes rank up there as one of my favorite cupcakes ever.
