One bite of these cornbread poppers will have you die and go to heaven. They are a delicious sweet and salty snack that you didn’t know you needed in your life. Use a mini muffin pan to scoop this savory cornbread into and then use the back of a spoon to flatten them out. Douse them in honey butter before serving them to all your guests. This is just the vanilla version of cornbread poppers. I grew up topping mine with pimento cheese or crab salad.

The secret to these poppers are all in the batter. My secret ingredient is creamed corn. It not only adds more of a corny flavor, but it also adds some texture to a soft cornbread muffin.

My favorite part from making these poppers is brushing them in honey butter, but you can brush them in what you love. I’ve made these with garlic butter and pepper jelly. You can toss these in hot honey or with tons of freshly cooked bacon.

Cornbread is a very inexpensive appetizer to serve so get fancy with the toppings or the mix-ins. These never hurt with some cheddar and jalapeño either!

Bake these off ahead of time and store them in a disposable aluminum tray for easy storage and easy warming. Pop into the oven for 5 minutes to bring these back to life. I hope you make these for your loved ones because recipes like this brings people close together. These are messy so keep wet wipes and napkins handy!
