These are delicious, but not healthy at all! I made some small changes to make them a bit better like switching out sour cream for greek yogurt and including less butter. I took these with me to a super bowl party and everyone enjoyed them.

Who doesn’t love a dessert with a theme?

Little Football for Superbowl Sunday!

Before frosting, make sure the cupcakes have cooled. I made these cupcakes for the game last Sunday. I frosted the cupcakes and piped the laces. They were great and a fun occasional treat. These would also be fun for St. Patrick’s Day, and just add a little green food dye/remove laces!
