salted carmel cup cakes

This recipe came from the site http://www.joyshope.com/
1 box German chocolate cake mix
Coarse salt
4-4 Heath bars crushed or bits in package
Carmel ice cream topping
Butter cream frosting recipe below
Make the cup cakes according to package directions
Just before the cakes come out of the oven melt the carmel topping with 1/2tsp of salt Pour into a squirt bottle or use a turkey baster
When the cakes come out  of the oven poke a hole in the center of each cup cake and squirt in some of the carmel  I found it helpful to put the cakes on a cooling rack and put the rack over paper towels, before doing this step  Let the cakes cool completly
In the meatime make your favorite butter cream recipe or use this one:
1 stick butter at room temp
1# powder sugar
11/2tsp vanilla
3T milk
pinch of salt
Cream the butter and sugar, add milk, vanilla and salt.  Beat until thick and creamy
Frost cakes and top with Heath bits  Don't use can frosting, YUCK
Warning:  This is  a messy cake, serve on a plate with a fork if your in polite company or just stuff it into your mouth over the sink if not.
