One of the main ingredients in a trifle is cake. Hostess is offering these Sea Salt Caramel Cup Cakes for a limited time, made with golden yellow cake with a core of caramel crème they’re perfect for trifles! A tip for making it easy to mix, let the cream cheese soften, add the cool whip and then the powdered sugar. This is a great base for any trifle! Before layering the ingredients, I rubbed the rim of the dessert cup with a little caramel and dipped the glass in natural sugar. This is totally optional, but it makes it look so decadent! The top layers is the cream cheese mixture, I sprinkled a little more sugar on top.

Grab a spoon and dig in :)
