St. Patty's Day Rainbow Popcorn Cupcakes in Gold Pots

Well, if you follow us on facebook you may have read that we had a bit of a DIY fail! We thought was came up with a "great" DIY idea for St. Patty's Day...when we actually went to create the project, it was not a great idea at all. Sometimes, ideas are  much better left in your head...hehe!! Anyways, we finally came up with something that we thought you might enjoy. We made cupcakes in metallic gold cupcake liners, and topped them with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkled popcorn!! These would not only be great for St. Patty's Day but, you could use these for a rainbow party as well!

You can use any cupcake recipe you like. 

This is our favorite frosting recipe. 

The chocolate popcorn is really easy to make too...

Chocolate covered rainbow popcorn

We use Boom Chicka Pop, bagged popcorn...{do not use microwave popcorn} 

Wilton's white chocolate candy melts

Rainbow non-perils 

Melt the chocolate and pour over a bowl of popcorn. Mix it together with your hands until all of the popcorn is coated. Spread it out over a wax paper and sprinkle non-perils over the chocolate covered popcorn, while it is still wet. Let it dry. 

After you cupcakes are made and frosted, sprinkle a few rainbow non-perils onto the frosting and top with your rainbow popcorn! Add a "Happy St. Patty's Day" cupcake flag for some added sparkle!
