Cheddar and Scallion Sweet Corn Muffins

I have no idea where Fall went these past few days, but I am enjoying the excuse to cook some serious comfort food. Born and raised in the South, I *love* me some corn bread; but I thought I would switch it up just a tad. These muffins are sweet, moist, and an excellent addition to a warm bowl of soup! For added sweetness I drizzle honey over top before baking. Mmm!

Ingredients:
Any corn bread mix in a bag where you just add water or milk/egg (i used Martha White)
1 small can of sweet creamed corn
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
2 Scallions, chopped
honey

what to do:
1. Preheat oven to specified temperature on mix packet
2. In a mixing bowl, combine mix, can of creamed corn, cheese and scallions
3. Mix together, and pour into a muffin pan (my batch made 6 cups)
4. Drizzle honey over top of batter
5. Bake for designated time on mix packet

the honey caramelizes on top and is absorbed into the rest of the mixture!
