St Patty's day ideas


I got inspired this year for St Patrick’s day, to make these cute little gifts for my kids (saw them on Pinterest). The ones I saw on pinterest just had the coins and licorice, but I thought they would look cute coming out of marshmallow clouds. I needed to make 6 and found that each package of twizzlers had 5 full rainbows worth of licorice in them.



You will need:

Rainbow twizzlers (each bag contains approx. enough for 5 full rainbows.)

Rolos (or chocolate coins) I found 6 per bag worked best,  I tried more and nothing would lay right.

Mini marshmallows (you could use white hostess snowballs as well, you would just need larger cellophane bags.

Cellophane bags with twist ties.

If you wanted to get extra fancy, you could even use black cauldrons from the party store, to put your rolo’s in.

I also got a little carried away with making the day special, so I got green hostess snowballs for the kids lunches, and St Patty’s day themed socks. And of course we will start the day with lucky charms, and end with corned beef and cabbage, and for dessert, my famous Crème De Menthe brownies.   Recipe here.
