Stir liquid ingredients into dry ingredients, until just moistened.Fold in chocolate chips.
Fill each muffin cavity until about 3/4 full.Bake for 18-20 minutes.Let cool in tin for 5 minutes. Then let remove to a rack and cool completely.
Ganache
Bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Do not boil. I usually do this is the microwave, for about 1 minute.Put the chips in a microwave safe bowl. Pour the hot cream over over the chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Then stir until smooth.Once your chocolate mixture is smooth stir in you caramel sauce.
Dip each cooled muffin in to ganache and let set up.Keep any unused ganache in the fridge for up to a week. It's like grown-up Nutella.
