St. Patrick's Day Lucky Charms Cupcakes Recipe

I have always loved Saint Patrick's Day, and we used to celebrate it with going out to eat at Benigann's, back when they were still open in Miami! Now that they've closed down - as have our other Irish Pubs - literally EVERY SINGLE IRISH PUB IS NOW CLOSED!?!?! - we have to celebrate at home. I miss the days of the Saint Patrick's Day block party in South Miami. Good times, man, good times!
