Instructions:
For Cup Cakes:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the eggs, water, buttermilk and oil. Stir just until blended. Mix in the bacon. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan, set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter. Frost with caramel frosting and Cracker Jack® popcorn.

For Caramel Frosting:
Melt butter in saucepan. Add brown sugar and milk and boil on low heat for 2 minutes constantly stirring. Bring to room temp, slowly add confectioner sugar and milk and beat until thick enough to spread. If icing becomes too stiff, add a little hot water.
