How cute are those Lucky Charm cupcakes!
I live in Mexico, where St. Patrick's day isn't celebrated, but I still do, because I want to teach my children about both of their cultures. Anyway…I can never find half of the stuff called for in most St. Patrick's Day recipes, but I do have Lucky Charms!
Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Your blog is so cute and I'm now following it.
