I was very fortunate to be able to make a great sweet treat with the delicious Petit Jean Meats bacon. As you all know I am a busy working mom I have little free time but the time I have I love to spend with my family. One of the things I love doing most with my eight year old daughter is baking together, it is a great bonding experience we both love it.  Just in time for Valentines day my daughter and I whipped up a batch of Petit Jean Bacon Maple delights, a delicious recipe I came up with on the fly for my husband. I know you may be asking bacon...? On a dessert? Isn't that odd? Well it may sound a little different but until you try it you will never know how great it is.  Here is a super easy cupcake (or cake... it is up to you) recipe that is semi homemade, made with boxed cake mix and jarred icing with special touches.

 Petit Jean Bacon Maple delights 
5 Strips of delightful Petit Jean Meats Bacon
Boxed Vanilla Cake Mix
Jar of Vanilla Icing 
Maple syrup  
glaze for bacon
 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

 2 1/2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon of maple syrup 

First up lets make some delicious Petit Jean Bacon, I went with the classic bacon (no peppered bacon for this treat) simply cook up about 5 strips (more if you would like to go heavy on the bacon, that is ok, I am sure it will be even more yummy) after the bacon is cooled we can start with the glaze. If you have never had glazed bacon, you have been missing out it is the best of both worlds sweet and salty, it is amazing.

When the bacon has cooled break up the crispy bacon into small bite sized pieces, then in a bowel mix the confectioners sugar milk and the teaspoon of maple syrup mix then toss in the bacon, your glaze should look like this, if it is too watery just add more confectioners sugar to thicken it up.

Then lay the glazed bacon on cookie racks to drip off the excess glaze.
Now we are ready to follow the simple instructions on the boxed cake mix, I added in a squirt of maple syrup in the mix just for a slight maple flavor.

The icing is just as easy add the ready made icing to a bowel and add 2 table spoons worth of maple syrup mix well.

After following the instructions for cupcakes on the cake mix box, after they are baked and cooled. It is time to make the delicious creations!

These are amazing cupcakes, and I will be making them again. My Valentine (mu hubby) just loved these creations, and I am sure your special Valentine will absolutely adore these bacon sweet treats. So why not order a package or two from Petit Jean Meats for them? Better yet you could order a Breakfast Box, or one of the other great gift boxes from Petit Jean Meats to make their day~
