Equally divide the batter between the two remekins. next, gentry nuzzle two caramels into the center of each. transfer the remekind to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 13 minutes. Invert onto plates and serve!
** I used 4oz milk choc as its all I had, I changed ½ tbsp of the flour with cocoa to intensify the chocolate. I also used margarine instead of butter and only a sprinkle of sea salt instead of the fill teaspoon. I served with graham crackers and whipped cream. They were good!
