Daim Bar<\/h3>\n

I feel like Daim Bar is one of the most delicious chocolates out there, but I definitely don’t bake with it enough. I always want to eat them before they actually make it to a bake… but this time I bought plenty spare for snacks! <\/p>\n

For those who don’t know… a Daim Bar is a swedish chocolate bar made from crunchy almond caramel covered in milk chocolate… so something completely and utterly delicious and exactly what I love.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you can’t eat nuts then you will have to basically ignore this recipe, but for the Daim Bar lovers out there like me.. this is for you.<\/p>\n

I will say, I wish I could have got more Daim Bar in there, but they don’t melt very well… I tried. The texture of a Daim bar goes perfectly with this recipe though, its a must try!<\/p>\n

Cupcake<\/h3>\n

I decided to use a basic chocolate cupcake mixture as I just love it and it always works – self raising flour, cocoa powder, butter, sugar and eggs.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t need any more, and it works! If you want something richer, you should use my chocolate fudge cupcakes<\/a>!  <\/p>\n

Daim Bar filling<\/h3>\n

I decided to stuff my cupcakes with pieces of Daim Bar (two mini ones to be precise) but there is a risk in doing so.<\/p>\n

The chocolate is quite hard, and if it sinks, it can become a bit harder… so this is completely optional (or you can just decorate with more later!). <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Buttercream<\/h3>\n

For the buttercream frosting again I just followed a basic buttercream – I wanted to melt down the Daim Bar to make something themed, but it just wouldn’t melt. The caramel inside the chocolate isn’t going to melt well, so it’s not worth it! <\/p>\n

Because of this, I decided to make the buttercream a basic chocolate mixture with some caramel added in, and then also I put in some almond extract. The flavours of the chocolate, caramel and almond all married together well and tasted just like the Daim Bar! <\/p>\n

Decoration<\/h3>\n

For the decoration I flitted between using toasted almond flakes, Daim Bar pieces, and also some chocolate.. but you can do whatever you want as per usual! There are no rules when it comes to recipes like this… just as long as you find it tasty! <\/p>\n
