St. Patty's Day Treats
Last night, I made a few treats for St. Patty's Day bake sale fundraiser. I thought there would be a lot of green treats so of course, I wanted to bring something different. I made rainbow pretzel rods & dipped rainbow marshmallows! I wrapped them in cellophane bags, & tied them with shamrock ribbon. I also added free printables I found on HWTM from Little Sprout Creations & Modern Moments Designs. Let's hope they find a little pot of gold at the end of the fundraiser's rainbow!

Lucky Limeade Pops
For St. Patty's Day, I wanted to create an adult version of those yummy frozen pops we all loved as children. I knew I wanted to use Adult Limeade as the base because ONE: it's super delicious and TWO: it's green! Adult Limeade is made with 100% agave reposado tequila, sweet agave nectar and all natural tart lime flavor ( basically, one of the best margaritas you ever had)!
To make my Lucky Limeade Pops, I simply mixed equal portions of Adult Limeade and Minute Maid Limeade. I poured them into plastic bags & placed them upright in a container & froze them overnight.
I also made Midori Limeade pops which are the darker green pops pictured. I followed the same recipe but added a shot of Midori. To serve, you can simply eat them as you would a regular ice pop or insert a straw to sip on the icy goodness. To make it even cuter, add these free St. Patty's Day printables from Tom Kat Studio.
My next Limeade flavors I want to try are Pomegranate Limeade & Cherry Limeade! I will let you know how they turn out!

Remember these cute Shamrock Pops I made last year? They got the most hits out of all of my 2011 posts!
If you want to make them for this St.Patty's Day, be sure to stop by & pick up some of these marshmallow hearts before they're gone. And the best part is they are marked down with all of the Valentine stuff!

Shamrock Marshmallow Pops
For St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to make a special treat for family & friends. All the kids love the candy covered marshmallow pops & I thought Shamrock Pops would be perfect!
I took heart shaped marshmallows
dipped them in green candy melts & sprinkles
let the candy harden. remove toothpicks, dip bottoms of the hearts in candy melts again & gently press together to form the clover ( I dipped the 2 bottom hearts first, then the top & added a few more sprinkles in the center where candy was wet )
once completely cool, gently push in pop stick
wrap pops in clear cellophane, ribbon & add a cute St. Patrick's tag from TomKat Studio
they are so fun, easy to make & I can't wait to hand them out to the kids!
Happy St. Patty's Day!
BEST St. Patty's Party Idea EVER
Every year the Burch family hosts a St. Patricks Day block party & build an Irish Pub in their garage (seriously wish they were my neighbors/friends right now) HOW FUN is this?
the inside of the "pub" before it is packed with people

Minty Shamrocks
I am feeling the luck of the Irish with the Shamrock Ice Cream Sandwiches from Taste of Home.
Ingredients
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 teaspoons milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 to 2 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
Directions
In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture just until blended. Divide dough into two portions; flatten. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8- to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. shamrock cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Prick with a fork if desired.
Bake at 350° for 7-10 minutes or until set. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Spread 1/4 to 1/3 cup ice cream over the bottom of six cookies; top with remaining cookies. Wrap individually in plastic wrap; freeze. May be frozen for up to 2 months. Yield: 6 servings.
