Introduction
I'd been obsessed with creating a version of Tim Hortons' "Chocolate Caramel" muffin since I first saw their ad. I don't eat there these days, and in all honesty these treats I adapted from Carnation's UK site are packed with dulce de leche, so aren't exactly "health food", but I can at least pronounce everything in them and have the satisfaction of having succeeded!
