Bananas Foster Cupcakes

I've made enough banana bread to sink the Titanic, so when my grandmom forced upon gave me more bananas I knew I did not want to make banana bread!   A cake would have struck too close to home as far as bread goes.  Cupcakes were winning, but I wanted to take them out of the muffin territory!  Chocolate and nuts - too obvious...Rum and caramel - delicious win!
