Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Place Reynolds Baking Cups in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
- In large bowl, beat cupcake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about two-thirds full).
- Bake 19 to 24 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- For frosting, in large bowl beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and 2 teaspoons of the milk with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable.
- Fit round tip (opening about 1/4 inch in diameter) in decorating bag. Spoon dulce de leche into bag. Insert tip in center of 1 cupcake, about halfway down. Gently squeeze decorating bag, pulling upwards until cupcake swells slightly and filling comes to the top. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. (Reserve remaining dulce de leche in decorating bag to decorate tops.)
- Fit round or star tip (opening about 1/2 inch in diameter) into decorating bag. Spoon cream cheese frosting into bag; pipe frosting in circular motion on top of each cupcake. Pipe dulce de leche over cream cheese frosting in desired pattern. Garnish with hot fudge sauce and cashews. Store in refrigerator.

PUMPKIN CARAMEL CUPCAKES
Not only do kids love to eat these cupcakes, they can help bake them, too. To make things even easier for them, we got the idea to dunk them in premade caramel apple dip instead of using frosting. -Donna Schaab, Belleville, Illinois

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and blending it until smooth, or you can use canned pumpkin puree.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- For a sweeter frosting, add more powdered sugar. For a tangier frosting, add more lemon juice.
