For the lotus caramel cookie muffins, sift baking powder and flour and mix with the cocoa. Cream the sugar and butter, beat in the eggs one at a time and add the vanilla, cloves, mulled wine, caramel cookie spread and rum and mix.
Then fold in the flour mixture. Line a muffin tray with muffin paper cups or take silicone muffin cups and fill the mixture two-thirds full.
Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 190 °C for about 20 minutes. Mix all ingredients for the topping well and spread on the completely cooled muffins.
