St. Patrick's Shamrock Pretzel Treats
- Pretzels
- Irish Cream Hershey Kisses
- Green M&M's
- Green Candy Melts (or Frosting)
- Parchment Paper
Directions:
Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Cover with a single layer of pretzels and place a Hershey Kiss in the center of each pretzel.
Place the cookie sheet in the oven at 200˚ for about 8 minutes, until the Hershey Kisses are soft, but not melted.
Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and immediately press 3 green M&M's on each Hershey Kiss, creating a Shamrock.
Note: I suggest looking for a bag of St. Patrick's Day M&M's or just purchase green M&M's from a candy store. The "big" bag of M&M's I originally purchased only came with enough to make 16 shamrocks. Nowhere near enough!
Melt a few green candy melts (or use green frosting) and add a stem to each shamrock.
Put them in the fridge until the chocolate set back up. Then add a line of green frosting to make the stem.
May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks.
May your heart be as light as a song.
May your heart be as light as a song.
May each day bring you bright, happy hours
that stay with you all the year long.

Too late for this year but Dec 26th is a perfect time to buy the Christmas M&Ms which has way more green.
ReplyDeleteI can't find green M&Ms anywhere except on the M&Ms website and they are expensive plus the shipping charge is outrageous. Does anyone know where they sell those bags of the green M&Ms?
ReplyDeleteHave you checked a craft store? Our local Michaels carries boxes of single colored M&M"s up by the specialty candy near the cash registers.
ReplyDeleteI bought a bag of green mint dark chocolate m and M's from my local CVS today for about $ 3.00
ReplyDeleteI buy extra Christmas M&M's and use the red ones for Valentine's Day and the green ones for St Patrick's Day!
