Are these just Charming? Easy? Fun?
This cupcake idea is straight from Betty Crocker- Lucky Charms Cupcakes! It is also in Betty Crocker Big Book of Cupcakes, that I love! This is not a cereal that I buy often, probably less than once a year, so being I have a huge box of the cereal, how could I resist making these Charming Cupcakes!
And what kind of Fun Cupcakes am I making to go with them?
Betty Crocker Fun-da Middles of course!
I know, I am like a walking billboard for these things! This time I am using the Yellow Cupcake with Creaming Vanilla Filling.
The icing is homemade buttercream. The cupcakes are topped with a little green sugar and then, of course, the Lucky Charms! From reading the reviews on the Betty Crocker website, I already knew that the cereal will quickly go stale if not served immediately. I tried using meringue powder in the icing and a layer of green sugar on top of the icing to possibly help prevent this, but no luck. The cereal did stay crunchy for an hour or two, but after a couple hours the cereal and marshmallows did get soft. They still taste great, but it is just as easy to put a handful on Lucky Charms on top right before serving. They are definitely best with that nice crunch on the top! Luckily, a dozen of these cupcake go pretty fast!
It is almost 6 months away, but this would be a fun idea for St. Patrick's Day!
They are magically delicious!
