YUMMY MAPLE BACON CUPCAKES
This recipe was given to me by a close friend. I was headed to a bacon party and the dessert list was quite limited. These cupcakes were eaten before the entrees and disappeared quickly! The bacon is the clincher. It is a must and the buttermilk in the batter makes it taste amazing.

BACON SURPRISE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE FROSTING
Felt like I was in Competing in Cupcake Wars! The ingredients from Dining on a Dollar Recipe Contest -- Spring 2013 made it tricky to create a dessert. Must say I nailed it! Tender, soft crumb with hint of bacon bits and topped with Maple frosting complement each other perfectly. The budget ingredient ketchup and applesauce gave the cupcakes a sweetness and added moisture. A MUST MAKE! You won't be disappointed. FYI the bacon is pieces so you will have bits just as if it was chips of chocolate. If you want you can save the bacon bits for just topping the frosting.

Steps:
- Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 12‒cup muffin pans with cupcake liners and set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and set aside. Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy in the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the eggs and the maple extract and mix until fully incorporated. Add the flour mixture and the Half & Half, alternating, in 2 batches. Be sure to mix well after each addition. Add in the chopped, cooked bacon and mix until evenly distributed. Fill the paper-lined muffin pans 3/4 of the way full with batter. Bake the muffins for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let them cool before frosting. Frosting: Cream together the cream cheese and the margarine with a hand mixer in a medium bowl until smooth and free of any lumps. Next, mix in the maple extract. Add in the confectioners' sugar and whip until light and fluffy. Refrigerate the frosting until you're ready to serve the cupcakes. Garnish: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate chips in the top section of a double boiler. Dip each piece of the bacon into the chocolate, until half of the bacon is covered in chocolate. Place the bacon pieces onto the prepared cookie sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set. When ready to serve the cupcakes, frost them using an icing spatula or a piping bag fitted with a pastry tip. After frosting, place a piece of chocolate-covered bacon on each cupcake and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy but not overcooked. This will help to prevent the bacon from becoming tough and chewy.
- Allow the bacon to cool completely before chopping it. This will help to prevent the bacon from sticking together.
- Use a cupcake pan with liners to make the cupcakes. This will help to prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the pan.
- Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the cupcakes from overflowing.
- Bake the cupcakes according to the recipe directions. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Make the maple frosting according to the recipe directions. You can use real maple syrup or maple extract to flavor the frosting.
- Frost the cupcakes with the maple frosting. You can use a piping bag or a spoon to frost the cupcakes.
- Top the cupcakes with a piece of bacon. You can also add other toppings, such as chopped nuts or sprinkles.
