Recipe Introduction

When is Day? National Kitchen Klutzes of America day is always of June 13. ________________________________________ What is this Holiday for? Are you the person who spills the milk? Are you the person who knocks the dish off the counter and breaks it? Well my accident-prone friends today is your day. On Kitchen Klutzes of America Day it's ok to be klutzy. Yep that's right! If you broke a dish today then be creative and crafty. Pick up the pieces and glue them on something and have some fun. Maybe you could make yourself a mosaic picture, frame or flower pot. Either way just know that spills and breaks don't matter at all today. We are all good at cleaning up the messes in life right? Just enjoy yourself and.... if you see someone be klutzy in the kitchen today... don't be mean by making them feel bad. Accidents happen all the time so live today on the lighter side of life. _______________________________________________ What is a Klutz? A klutz is a person who is clumsy, foolish, inept, or accident-prone. The term is perhaps derived from the Yiddish klots ('wooden beam'), cognate with the German Klotz, meaning a "block" or "lump". The British slang, pillock and the Australian slang, galah are used with similar meaning, particularly in terms of being foolish and inept. The term klutz has largely permeated into the English language, even amongst speakers of English with no Yiddish or indeed Jewish heritage. Now since we are talking about a kitchen klutz, this is a accident-prone person in the kitchen. Gone-Ta-Pott

List of Ingredients

HOME COOKIN’ 06/13/2011 National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes



Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes


• 3 egg(s)
• 1/3 cup Crisco Vegetable Oil
• 1 package Duncan Hines Chocolate Cake Mix
• 1 tub Duncan Hines Chocolate Frosting (16 oz.)
• 12 pieces Hormel Microwave Ready Bacon (12 oz.)


Recipe



Microwave the bacon according to package directions. When done, let cool slightly, then crumble.

Meanwhile, prepare cupcakes according to package directions. Then stir in 2/3 of the bacon crumbles and pour into baking cups. Bake according to package directions (18-24 minutes at 350 degrees).

When done, let cupcakes cool. Then frost and top with a few bacon crumbles.

The best way to frost cupcakes is to glob a bunch on top (don't be shy!), hold the knife in your right hand, and smooth out by turning the cupcake clockwise in your left hand. The goal is to get the icing all the way down to the cupcake liner but no further. Spending a little more time smoothing out the frosting will make your cupcakes look much better!
