These cupcakes go together super-quick. Pistachio pudding mix gives them a mild flavor and pretty pastel color that makes them perfect for St. Patrick's Day. —Kathy Meyer, Almond, Wisconsin

I make these cupcakes every year and people look forward to them. I make them in miniature papers and they go further.

These cupcakes are easy to make and very good.I didn't have cream cheese for the frosting so I used vanilla frosting.

Looks like a winner. The cream cheese frosting sounds delicious.
