Caramel Crown muffin-pan brownies

As well as having an Arnott's Caramel Crown on top, these impressive brownie muffins are hiding a secret: another whole Caramel Crown baked inside!

**INGREDIENTS**
150g butter, chopped
200g dark chocolate, chopped
300g (11/2 cups) brown sugar
3 eggs
150g (1 cup) plain flour
30g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
85g (1/3 cup) sour cream
2 x 200g pkts Arnott’s Caramel Crowns
Melted dark chocolate, to drizzle
Gold and silver sprinkles, to decorate

**BUTTERCREAM**
300g unsalted butter, at room temperature
380g (21/2 cups) icing sugar
150g dark chocolate, melted, cooled

**METHOD**
Step 1
Preheat oven to 170°C/150°C fan forced. Line twelve 80ml (1/3 cup) muffin pans with paper cases.
Step 2
Place the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition. Sift in the flour, cocoa and baking powder. Stir until combined. Add the sour cream and stir until combined.
Step 3
Spoon half the brownie mixture into the prepared pans. Top each with a Caramel Crown and spoon over the remaining brownie mixture. Bake for 25 minutes or until the brownies begin to crack on the surface and a skewer comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4
For the buttercream, use electric beaters to beat the butter in a bowl until it is very pale and creamy. Gradually add the icing sugar, beating well after each addition. Beat in the chocolate until combined.
Step 5
Use a piping bag with a 1cm fluted nozzle to pipe the buttercream over the muffins. Top each muffin with a Caramel Crown. Drizzle with chocolate and decorate with sprinkles and cachous.

Hello nihkknp! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:
1. **Keep your passwords safe:** Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
2. **Get Steem rewards:** When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
3. **Upvote wisely:** When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
4. **Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power:** Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
5. **Have Fun and Enjoy!**
