Add the caramels and the heavy cream to a small, microwavable safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir; repeat in 30 second intervals stirring in between until caramels are melted and smooth. Let cool for about 10 minutes so it can thicken slightly. Once caramel is cool enough to stick to the cupcakes, turn cooled cupcakes over and dip the tops of the cupcakes into the caramel and then sprinkle with chopped peanuts.

Cooking Tips:

A tablespoon or two of melted butter can also be added to the melted caramel and cream for extra flavor and a softer texture.

A drizzle of chocolate can also be done over the top of the cupcakes.

Pecans and walnuts can be used in place of the peanuts.

The best part is that you can customize them and use any flavor batter that you like and top them with endless toppings.
