I feel like I'm breaking some kind of food blogger rule posting this recipe in November, because aren't we suppose to only do Holiday foods laden with pumpkin, and turkey? But what the heck! When your first born turns 6 and decides that he wants a random food that looks like other food cupcake for his birthday, you jump at the chance to pull out all the stops...Kinda. I thought that he would want the standard pokemon cupcake, with which I could head out to the local party store, pick up a few themed cupcake toppers and call it a day. Nooope, not my kid. He wanted hamburger cupcakes. Sounds easy enough, it was basically a vanilla cupcake with a brownie in the middle. But... then I realized that I had to make 28+ cupcakes for his class, and that simple project seemed more daunting that I realized. So, I scoured the web for another idea and came upon this gem. Cupcakes that looked like boxes of popcorn, using marshmallows! Genius! I stealthily convinced my boy that this was a much better way to go and Buttered Popcorn Cupcakes were born!
