Make filling.

Beat salt, cream cheese, sugar, and egg until fluffy. 


Put one heaping tablespoon of cheese mixture in the center of each cupcake. Add another 2/3 cup on top of the cheese mixture.
Bake at 350* for around 15 minutes or until tops start to brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Then make your favorite frosting and color green. To make the little clovers I used a Wilton 2D tip. Watch video below.
