This is one of those recipes that you just have to try. So I did and they really are good. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I halved it. I used some coffee with cinnamon in it and it turned out nice. Also, I frosted them with some semi-sweet chocolate ganache. So they were super chocolatey and yummy! Very moist. I do think that next time I will try to really crumble the bacon very finely so there's no visible pieces, or honestly I might just make them without the bacon all together because the actual cupcake is just awesome and I hate frying bacon. But this recipe is fantastic as is.

I couldn't believe these, and my boys couldn't either. They loved them! I followed this recipe exactly EXCEPT I added some 71% dark chocolate which I grated into the batter, I only put in like 1/4 of a bar. I wanted to make sure they were chocolately enough and they definetly were.

These had an awesome depth of flavor. I am not a coffee drinker so I only had gourmet chocolate caramel coffee, and I am made it real strong (3 tablespoons for 1 cup). I finely crumbled the bacon. Within the mixture, they end up being almost undetectable, except for a slightly salty bit everyso often which mixes wonderfully with the chocolate flavor. Not to mention these cupcakes are supermoist and fluffy! Note: My first batch flattened cause I took them out too early to check them...second batch came out perfect I left them in there, when I saw that they rose nicely, I turned off the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes in the oven.

As soon as I saw this recipe I knew I would have to try it. My curiousity got the best of me tonight and I whipped up a batch. These are seriously THE best cupcakes I've ever eaten, let alone made. Moist, full of flavor, and heavenly rich. I love the depth that the bacon and coffee add to the chocolate flavor. I highly recommend this!

I did not like the way this rose, then flattened out. The flavor was very good, but the bacon should be used for something other than cupcakes. If I had not put the bacon in, this crumbly cake would have been great for Cake Balls! The only change I made was that I put instant coffee and 1 cup of cold water in the batter; that should not have given me the results I got!
