Recipe: Shamrock Rice Krispie Treats

Need a last minute idea for the kids on St. Patrick's

Day? Look no further.. these adorable

green shamrock treats will be a hit!

Make it a family affair..... a fun activity they can help

with....

TIPS

If you don't have a shamrock cookie cutter... make regular

krispie treats ..just use the food coloring and make 'em green.

I like to use marshmallow fluff instead of marshmallows...

it melts so much faster and it's always smooth.

If you do use marshmallows... make sure they're fresh..

older ones melt horribly.

Don't use diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine.

Mix the green food coloring into the melted marshmallow

mixture... add a few drops at a time to get to the color you want.

Make sure you spray the cookie cutter with cooking oil

spray... it will make cutting them into shape easier.

Have fun!
