I posted this last year for St. Patrick’s Day – and couldn’t resist reposting it again this year. These fun little treats are my favorite to make every year. Your kids will love helping you make them in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day (and I’m sure they won’t mind helping you eat them as well!)

A few years ago, we went to a St. Patrick’s day party. We ate baked potatoes and had green milkshakes. One of my friends, though, cooked up a really creative treat to contribute. I’ve been making it every March since (even though I am in no way Irish).
This treat is a fun take on Rice Crispy treats. I am sure you can see where this is going. 🙂 But, since it’s simple, tasty AND festive for the holiday, it is the perfect treat to make with your kids for St. Patrick’s Day!

Luck O’ The Irish Treats

1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add Lucky Charms cereal. Stir until well coated.
3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares. Best if served the same day.

See? So fun! And honestly, SO TASTY!
Enjoy the upcoming green holiday, and I’ll be back next week with another recipe!
