25+ Festive St. Patrick’s Day Treats Everyone Will Enjoy
So in our house we are always looking forward to St. Patrick’s day and the festivities always contain lots of delicious treats! This year is no exception, of course, and so I totally went down a St. Patrick’s Day recipe rabbit hole the other day and ended up bookmarking 20+ amazing treats – everything from mint chocolate cupcakes to boozy Bailey’s desserts. Talk about lucky finds, ha!
I figured since I already spent way too much time collecting these, I should share them with you. Because honestly, who doesn’t want festive green treats and rainbow desserts for St. Paddy’s Day?
Save for later:
There’s some yummy looking easy no-bake stuff here for when you’re short on time, also kid-friendly treats like shamrock pretzels, and even some fancy cocktails if you’re hosting a party – so everyone has something to choose from.
My kitchen is probably going to be covered in green sprinkles by March 17th. Hope you find something fun to make!
