St Patrick’s Day Lucky Charms Cupcakes

Now that we have Valentine’s Day behind us, I decided to make the kids these St Patrick’s Day Lucky Charms Cupcakes with marshmallow icing in the middle. They were so yummy! Filled with lots of sugar and topped with one of their favorite cereals. I enjoyed a bowl of Lucky Charms for a late evening snack the other evening and had thought about how cute these little cupcakes would be for St Patrick’s Day.

St Patrick’s Day Lucky Charms Cupcakes

I have been scoring the hot Betty Crocker Cake Mix deal at Target (scored another 10 today, ha ha) and have been using these cake mixes for yummy treats for the kiddos 9or should I say more so for myself, ha ha). We always have Lucky Charms in the panty so, these St Patrick’s Day Lucky Charms cupcakes were a must make. The addition of the Green Marshmallow Icing in the middle really set these cupcakes to another level of yumminess.
