Mix until well combined

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the mixture

Mix until a dough forms

Divide the dough into 24 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball

Place each dough ball into the cups of a mini muffin tin, pressing down to create a cup shape

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookie cups are lightly golden around the edges

Allow the cookie cups to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then carefully remove them and place them on a wire rack to cool completely

Once the cookie cups are cooled, fill each well with a small spoonful of caramel sauce

Sprinkle chopped peanuts and chocolate chips over the caramel-filled cookie cups

Drizzle a little extra caramel sauce and melted chocolate over the tops for extra decadence

Allow the caramel and chocolate to set before serving
