These were awesome!!! I made these for a Memorial day party in 2010 and they were eaten up quickly. I got many compliments on these. They were pretty easy to make and assemble. Try this recipe...you won't regret it!!
I give this recipe 5 cupcakes.

Making these again today for my grandsons 21st birthday party. My granddaughter requested them because we had them for her 21st birthday party. So happy I can make the younger generation something they really like. Try these for your next party. They will be a big hit!!

Making these again for a Christmas Present. A friend of my daughter's loves these so much he was disappointed that I didn't bring them for Thanksgiving. So, I will be making them and gifting him his own. If he shares that will be fine...if not, that's OK because they are all his... If you haven't tried these, I strongly suggest you give these a try. You won't regret it.
