I made a mini bite size version of these recently for a picnic at work. I love them, my family loved them, and people at work loved them too.
The flavor combination was unique and quite tasty.
I agree that you should frost and put on the crunchy stuff right before serving.
I will certainly make them again!

I made these for a Cinco de mayo party at my work. I agree with TaraBarn that the recipe makes way more than 12 cupcakes (even without doubling it). And that the tortilla chips may take longer than listed.
I also agree that the frosting had a thin and runny consistency. I partially blame the fact that I heated it up to get it out of the jar, but even after refrigerating it, it was still kinda thin.
My biggest piece of advice would be to REFRIGERATE these suckers, because by lunchtime, they were melting! I waited to put on the whip cream and chips, but even then they were kind of all over the place. So your best bet would be to serve them as soon after you frost/decorate them as possible.
All that said, everyone was impressed, and they were pretty darn tasty.

Made these last night for Cinco de Mayo at work. They are a huge hit!
Few things:
1) The recipe said 12 cupcakes, so I doubled it. I ended up with over 50 cupcakes! Not sure what size cupcakes you made, but it makes many more than 12.
2) The cupcakes cake is wonderful! Great flavor and nice crumb. I may use this on it’s own sometime.
3) A little disappointed with the frosting. Tastes good, but got a bit thin and sticky. I will use less caramel sauce next time.
4) LOVE the tortillas. I melted butter and brushed it on (rather than sprayed it). I did have to cook them closer to 10 minutes to get them crispy, but they were VERY tasty once they were done.
I will definitely make these again. Thanks for the recipe!

I made these yesterday but didn’t want choc. So I used a boxed white mix and added cinnamon to it. Made a few other changes.Yummy. Loved the idea. Very fun for Cinco De Mayo.

Made these today — because I love me some fried ice cream.
Slightly disappointed — the frosting made with canned frosting and caramel is fast — but it’s still canned frosting. I ended up making a powder-sugar frosting using the caramel as the liquid — and adding a little butter, cream. That tasted better.
For the crispy part — added a little melted butter and sugar, and cinnamon.
Over all, I think if I made them again, I’d use a box mix for the cupcakes, make my own frosting. The cupcakes are very tasty — but fragile.
