Every college looks forward to Saint Patrick’s Day. Not only for it’s known party atmosphere, but for the green traditions that go along with the holiday. The best way to celebrate the holiday is with a big group of friends, bringing in the holiday with as many green treats as you have.
One great St. Patrick’s Day treat is the shamrock Rice Krispies treats lollipop. The lollipop is the easiest and quickest thing that you can make for the holiday. All you need is a mold of a shamrock, which you can find in supermarkets in the baking aisle. If you can not get a shamrock mold, you can get a cookie cutter model of a shamrock or anything St. Patrick’s Day related. You’ll also need the ingredients below to make it:
Ingredients:
1 bag of marshmallows
1 box of Rice Krispies treats
1 bag of green straws
Green food dye
St. Patrick’s Day-themed mold or cookie cutter
The first thing that you are going to want to do is to melt the marshmallow. You can do this by putting the whole bag of marshmallows in a bowl, and then putting the bowl microwave for :35 – 1:00. Once all of the marshmallows have melted you can then stir it all together to make sure that it is all melted. If you purchased green food coloring, you should add it to the marshmallows once they are melted. Add about three to four drops of food coloring, and then mix it into the marshmallows.
The second step is to put a layer of Rice Krispies treats in the shamrock mold. After you put one layer in, pour the marshmallow on top of the layer and add one more layer of Rice Krispies treats. Once you mix the two ingredients, stick the straw into the bottom of the shamrock so it dries together and it doesn’t fall off when you go to pick it up. After this, wait until the marshmallow and Rice Krispies treats have dried together.
These treats will bring fun to the party and will also be a tasty treat that everyone can eat and enjoy together!
