Double Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes
INGREDIENTS
•
Makes about 3 dozen mini cupcakes
•
Candied bacon
•
5 strips of applewood smoked bacon
•
About a cup of packed brown sugar
•
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
•
Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack across the top.
•
Spread the brown sugar out on a plate and press each strip of bacon into the sugar to thoroughly coat each side.
•
Place each sugared strip of bacon on the wire rack, making sure they aren’t touching one another.
•
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the bacon is crispy, but not burned (My oven is wonky, so it took a few minutes longer for me).
•
Remove from oven and let cool. Chop into tiny pieces.
•
Chocolate ganache
•
½ cup heavy whipping cream
•
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
•
In a medium saucepan over low heat, bring the cream to boil.
•
Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
•
Stir until thoroughly combined (at first, it’ll look too milky like it won’t combine, but it’ll eventually turn into velvety ganache).
