Divide the mixture evenly among the cases.

Spread a little chocolatefrosting over each cake.
Combine the Bliss Bombs and peanuts in a large heatproof bowl.
Stir the jersey caramels, cream & salted nuts in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 mins or until melted & smooth. (See Tips) Pour 2/3 of the caramel mixture over the Bliss Bomb mixture & stir to combine. Set aside for 3 mins.
While Bliss Bomb mixture is still warm, spoon & shape mounds over the cakes. Set aside for 5 mins to set. Warm remaining caramel mixture over low heat. Drizzle caramel mixture & melted chocolate over cakes!
Tip
This is a conversion of the Caramel Popcorn Mud Cakes recipe featured on the cover of Taste Magazine, September 2013.
I tried melting the jersey caramels and cream in the Thermomix but not enough heat was generated to do this so hence as per the magazine recipe the small saucepan was required. You can also make the choc frosting in the Thermomix however my goal was to convert the simple recipe as per Taste Magazine. We loved it and I appreciated the simple steps to achieve the final result. Please bake, rate and enjoy! They make you look like a super chef (even if you are not).

Carol I think that's part of what's missing, The initial instructions about what to do with the caramel, as well as the heating of the mixture
Yes, and what's the "remaining caramel mixture"?? We haven't used any to begin with!
There seem to be some instructions missing between steps 8 and 9 - there's no instructions about heating the popcorn, caramel and peanuts
