St. Patrick’s Day Treats

In case you’ve missed it, I love getting festive for all the holidays and that includes St. Patrick’s Day! When the weather cooperates, we go to my sister’s for their town’s parade and wear all the green and have all the fun! Its just a fun time with good friends and family and cannot be beat!

So today, I’m sharing TWO treats that I love for St. Patrick’s Day that are super easy to make with Lucky Charms!
