If you have ever been to Portland, know someone in Portland, or follow any food blog updated in the past year, then you’ve heard of Voodoo Doughnuts and their to-die-for Maple Bacon Bar, which is essentially a super-tasty maple bar with a couple of crispy slices of bacon on top.

So I made Maple Bacon Cake Pops- I tried a few different combinations….
Maple in the cake, maple in the coating, peanut butter coating…
Luckily I have roommates to help out in my “test kitchen”…
… and the winner is maple and bacon on the inside, vanilla candy melts on the outside. Now you can enjoy all the flavors of breakfast in one bite! Recipe below.
Maple Bacon Cake Pops
Ingredients

Put it together
- Grind up cake into a large bowl, mix with frosting, bacon (reserving 2 tbs for garnish) and maple extract.
- Roll cake into quarter-sized balls and place onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper
- Place sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes to set
- Heat candy melts in a small, deep glass bowl in the microwave- stirring at 30 second intervals until melted, one to two minutes
