Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
Fold in the sweet corn and shredded cheddar cheese.
Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the poppers to cool slightly before drizzling with the honey butter.
Serve when ready.
