Baking IS for the Birds

BIRD  CUPCAKES

In the winter, birds benefit from a high-energy suet treat. One of the editors of Birds and Blooms magazine developed this recipe with her kids using cupcake liners to stay mess-free. They are a winner with birds for a special winter treat.

Melt 1 cup shortening and 2 cups chunky peanut butter over low  heat, then mix in 5 cups cornmeal. Fill cupcake tins and top with your choice of nuts, birdseed or dried berries. Cool in the refrigerator. To give as a gift, arrange on a plate or stack then wrap with cellophane.
