• Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then loosen them and tilt them in the pan to allow steam to escape while they finish cooling. Or, remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk all icing ingredients except for milk. Then, add milk, a half Tablespoon at a time until you reach a thick, spreadable consistency. Spread icing evenly over each muffin. Arrange pieces of bacon on top of icing, quickly, before icing sets.
• Store leftover muffins covered, in refrigerator. I like to heat them up in the microwave for a few seconds before serving, taking care not to let the icing melt.
