Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, large eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chunks and half of the salted caramel sauce.
  6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle remaining caramel sauce over muffins.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!
