Clover Crispy Treats are Perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day
Saint Patrick’s Day is such a fun holiday and having a St. Patrick’s Day baby (young adult now) means I’ve spent 21 years coming up with fun desserts to celebrate. While this year is the first year we won’t be “together” on her birthday I am still in love with all things shamrocks. When she was born I didn’t want her born on St. Paddy’s Day, but now I couldn’t imagine her birthday any other way.

St. Patrick's Day
*Prep tip. Before making these, make sure you have a place to let your marshmallow sticks dry. You can use an upside-down colander, a cooling sheet with holes in it or a few tall cups.
Delicious St. Patrick's Day Whoopie Pies are the perfect treat.
