Tips:
- Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan when making the caramel sauce to prevent scorching.
- Stir the caramel sauce constantly to prevent it from burning.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel sauce by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel hardens and forms a ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overbeat the whipped cream, or it will become grainy.
- If you are using Kahlua in the caramel sauce, add it after the sauce has cooled slightly to prevent the alcohol from evaporating.
- Caramel cups can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Creamy caramel cups are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple caramel sauce that is poured into chocolate cups and topped with whipped cream. The cups can be made with or without Kahlua, depending on your preference. Caramel cups are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth and they are sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
