Hunka Hunka Elvis Cupcakes

I found my thrill...and it is these cupcakes!  All of Elvis' favorite flavors in one small package...now if we can just figure out how to get bacon into these......ha ha!  I usually double this recipe and triple the frosting recipe..because they go fast!

2 Cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup real mayonnaise
1 1/3 cups mashed ripe banana, about 3 medium (the blacker the better)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
18 chocolate kisses

Peanut Butter Frosting:

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 to 4 Tablespoons milk
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, melted

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.  In another bowl combine the mayonnaise, banana, and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until combined.

Spoon 1 Tablespoon of batter into each paper-lined muffin cup. Top each with a chocolate kiss, pointed side down. Fill cups two-thirds full with remaining batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire racks to cool completely.

In a large bowl combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Makes 18 cupcakes.
