  Step 1

  First of all we need a lot of cupcake papers, I used these cute small ones (about 5cm or 2inch in width), but the regular sized ones are fine too.

• 

  Step 2

  Then we need bird seeds! I got this 1 kilo bag (2,2 lbs) for about 2 euro's. For about 15 normal sized cupcakes you'll only seed 1/5th of the bag though.

• 

  Step 3

  Then you need the deep-drying grease. So not the oil!! The stuff that get's solid like butter when it's not heated. I got this 500gram piece. For the 200 grams of bird seed, about 100 grams of this should be enough for the cupcakes, but I melted all and used all of the seeds

  (and used what was left after filling the cupcakes to fill a pot that's also feeding the birds now)

• 

  Step 4

  While it's melting, slowly add the birdseeds and stir.

  Make sure the grease doesn't get too hot! It should just about melt, and it definitely shouldn't boil!!

• 

  Step 5

  Once the mixture is ready, start filling the cups up with a spoon.

  (my kid helped, don't worry, the stuff isn't very hot if you followed my no-boiling rules!)

• 

  Step 6

  It topped them of with a peanut!

  (my other kid helped)

• 

  Step 7

  leave them to cool down for a while.
  When the grease has gotten completely solid again, and the cupcakes feel cold, it should all stick together.

• 

  Step 8

  Leave them outside in your garden or on your balcony. Preferably in a cat-safe place.

  Gently pulling a piece of string or ribbon through with a needle makes them easy to hang up..
  And extra cute!
