Rainbow Treats
Who doesn’t love the whimsy of St. Patrick’s Day? While St. Patrick’s Day does have a more serious background involving the teaching of Christianity to pagan Irish, most people tend to treat it as a fun holiday involving green, the luck of the Irish, rainbows, and pots of gold. I would certainly take the pots of gold…
Anyway, I want to share this fun and simple dessert that is perfect for budding young chefs to make at home. I mean, what kid doesn’t like to get a “little” messy in the kitchen!
Also, I have some “Follow that Rainbow” stickers at the bottom of this post. Don’t forget to download them to share you St. Patrick’s Day whimsy! {Just click on the graphic at the bottom of the post.}
