Caramel Filled gooey chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and bacon bits

I had this idea in my mind for a while.  I love those chocolate covered caramels with sea salt, bacon goes great with chocolate (I mean, what doesn't go with bacon?) and I love making cupcakes so I came up with the idea to combine all these things into one awesome recipe.

Step 1: Ingredients

I always use the same recipe for making the batter, no matter what kind of cupcake I am making.  I don't follow the directions on the box of mix ('cause I'm a rebel like that) because by switching out some ingredients, your cupcakes will be much more moist and delicious.
One batch of these is about 24 decent sized cupcakes.

Ingredients:
One 18.25 oz box of the most chocolaty chocolate cake mix you can find
-4 eggs (instead of what is calls for on the box)
-1 cup butter milk (instead of water that is called for on the box)
-Vegetable oil (amount called for on the box)
-chocolate frosting (you can make this yourself, or buy it, or use a different flavor entirely)
-caramel-filled chocolate candies to make the caramel centers (I used Dove brand since that was what I could find)
-chocolate syrup (optional, but awesome)
-bacon to make bacon bits (or just buy pre-made, but it's really not as good)
-sprinkle of salt and sugar for bacon bits

They may be simple, but they are divine! This was easy enough to do with the kiddos, and everyone loved them. Great idea, simple and completely awesome. Thanks!

How would you do it? I like to make easy, delicious deserts for my friends and thought other people might like to make them also.
