I was watching Unwrapped last night and saw a bakery, I don't remember where, that sells bacon cupcakes. I was intrigued. I baked some up today and OMG!!!! They are wonderful. White cake, dark ganache frosting, and a sprinkling of super crunchy little pieces of bacon. That salty wonderfulness with the chocolate is heaven! I know it sounds strange but give it a try YUMMY! 
That sounds interesting and kind of scary at the same time. I think I will try them!

HTH
I've actually seen (and tried) a bar of good quality dark chocolate with rocksalt through it. YUM! Sweet and salty is awesome.
Here is the link to the story that was done on some in Seattle

They put whiskey in the batter
Sounds good but I have not been up there to try them yet
they sold chocolate dipped bacon strips at our state fair this year for the first time..didn,t buy it.. but i think i would like it. said i was going to make some at home.. but then i forgot. this brought back the fair..ha! i think it was like $4.00 a strip..
VooDoo lounge is actually in Portland. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their bacon maple doughnuts. It's just a regular maple glazed longhorn with a THICK AND CRISPY piece of bacon. The key is the thick and crispy bacon if you can't tell by the bold letters. They have some weird doughnuts. One is called the Zit. That's the one my son likes. It's a stuffed doughnut with cream and raspberry filling. They are in weird locations and are very eclectic.
I got chocolate covered bacon last week at a candy store. Hated it! It was made with thin bacon, so it was soggy.

Bacon cupcakes seem to be one of those up-and-coming flavors. The Chokylit cupcake blog has a couple recipes for bacon cupcakes:

Someone mentioned the salt in a chocolate bar - if you like the sweet/salty combination like I do, try the Chocolove chocolate bar - almond and sea salt flavor. It's AMAZING! The delicious dark (but not TOO dark) chocolate and almonds with the little smack of salt at the end is one of the most addictive things I've eaten. You can find them at World Market and some grocery stores.

Okay, I LOVE doughnuts and I LOVE the ones with the cream and fruit fillings in them, but if I saw a sign that said "Zit" near it, there is no way my stomach could handle eating one......that's so gross!
Cake balls! What about a white cake ball (could even add a little maple syrup as a binder???) with dark choc covering-rolled in a little bit of---bacon! Sounds good to me-think I'll try it tonight!
Num num num!! Let us know how much you like it!!
You know, I made some maple cupcakes with maple chips in them, filled with maple bettercreme (P.S. if you stop right here they are already AMAZING!) then dipped in ganache and topped with a sprinkle of crispy bacon. They were awesome! They raised eyebrows of course because out here in the middle of nowhere people don't know about a lot of these fancy combos that are popular in big cities. I sent the 'leftovers' to my hubbies office the next day and people were confused but once they tasted them they thought they were great. But, one person commented that you really couldn't taste the bacon. I don't know why, but it irked me that I couldn't tell her that I *knew* that, and that was part of the beauty of it. Do you guys ever get kind of... I guess 'defensive' would be the word... when you're not there to point out that what they are 'noticing' is exactly what was meant. I have no idea why, but I feel like they are telling me that I did something wrong and I just want to say, "I meant to do that!!" Isn't that silly? 
Am I really that insecure?? Sheesh! 
It would be like if I sent chocolate mint cupcakes and someone said, "I love the chocolate cupcakes, but they kind of had a mint taste to them." Um, yah...cuz I put MINT in them! I don't know why but that makes me feel like I'm being chastised. Goofy, I know.
whenever someone says something like that, I lean over and say "I know, isn't it brilliant??"
Then they get the point that I MEANT to do it........and that they look like the oddball pointing out the obvious lol
HAHAHA!!! EX-ACTLY!!! But I just go nuts when I'm not there to do that! 
I am so goofy! It's like I'm afraid if someone doesn't 'get it' it will reflect badly on me?!?! 
Noooo... I'm not high maintenance AT ALL!
Thank goodness!! Sometimes I think "Come on Mel, get over yourself!" but then I realize I'm entitled to have feelings, right? Hahaha. There is just this weird level of insecurity in me... it's tucked back in a corner and the weirdest things will trigger it. Like if someone doesn't like a particular flavor, it doesn't mean they don't like my cake... they just don't like that flavor! But sometimes I get all paranoid... KWIM?
I am hosting a "Turkey Bacon" party next weekend,(long story) and I am definitly going to serve some of these yummy bacon cupcakes. 
Thanks for sharing your info about such ways to make them. I will post some pics once the party is finished.
Thanks for the ideas!!!!
