Honey Pecan Cupcake

Everybody loves cupcakes. Perfect for a party or to satisfy that sweet tooth, the kids will love to decorate their own. Try substituting plain margarine or butter with Derlea’s new honey pecan spread – it’s trans-fat free and adds authentic flavour. And, here’s some great news you can feel good about: Derlea will donate 50 cents for every new spread purchased in Canada to Spread the Net (www.spreadthenet.org), a Canadian organization that provides bed nets to families in Africa to prevent malaria. So, you can spread some flavour and save lives, too. All You Need:
