Ingredients:

                    === CUPCAKES ===
                    Butter
                    Flour
1 1/3 cups          hot water
2     tablespoons   instant coffee crystals
1                   box chocolate fudge cake mix - (18.3 oz)
1/3   cup           vegetable oil
3                   eggs
12                  soft caramel candies
                    === FROSTING ===
1                   container chocolate frosting - (16 oz)
1     jar           marshmallow creme - (7 oz)
1/4   cup           unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4   cup           sweetened flaked coconut

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 2 (6-cup) cupcake pans.
Stir hot water and coffee crystals in large bowl until crystals dissolve. Let cool. Add cake mix, oil, and eggs to coffee in large bowl. Beat by hand or with a hand mixer for 2 minutes, or until well blended. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Place 1 caramel candy in the center of each. Pour remaining batter over caramels. Bake for 12 minutes, or until cakes have puffed. Cool cupcakes in pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Carefully remove cupcakes from pans and let cool completely before frosting.
Cut off tops of cupcakes, reserving both the tops and bottoms. Frost cupcake tops with chocolate frosting. Spoon 1 tablespoon of chilled marshmallow creme atop each cake bottom. Place cake tops back on top of cake bottoms. Dust tops with cocoa powder and sprinkle with coconut.
This recipe yields 12 cupcakes.
