Fill the Cupcakes :
Once the cupcakes have cooled, cut a small hole in the center of each one using a small knife. Fill halfway with softened cream cheese, then top with caramel sauce.
Frost and Garnish :
Frost the cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce, and garnish with pretzel twists if desired. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes for the ultimate sweet-salty balance.
