Don't Miss: St. Patrick's Day Green Recipes the Kids Will Love
- St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes - These simple green cupcakes are so tender, you will want to make this recipe all year round. You can use the vanilla frosting recipe I've included with the cupcake recipe or use a cream cheese frosting. Decorate with green colored sugar or sugar shamrocks.
- Watergate Salad Recipe - This recipe harkens back to the 1970s, when the Watergate burglary occurred. No one is quite sure how this creamy dessert got its name, but everyone who tries it loves it. Pistachio pudding is the basis for this dish. Crushed pineapple, coconut, pecans and marshmallows add texture and flavor to this recipe.
- Margarita Pie Recipe - This cool and creamy pie makes a fantastic dessert for barbecues and summer picnics, but its green color makes it a natural for St. Patrick's Day, too. The salty pretzel crust is typically a surprise to the palate and everyone seems to like the sweet-salty combination. Don't worry - there is no alcohol in this pie.
- Green Popcorn Recipe - If you're a fan of caramel corn or kettle corn, you will adore this treat. It's basically the same recipe with green food coloring added to make it festive. Kids find this popcorn positively addictive.
- Grasshopper Pie Recipe - This pie reminds me of a dessert my mom used to make when I was a kid. It's basically a marshmallow pie flavored with peppermint in a chocolate cookie crumb crust. The old-fashioned version was spiked with creme de menthe. But the peppermint makes an easy, tasty substitute.
- Irish Mint Brownies Recipe - These three-layer brownies have a basic brownie layer (I use a brownie mix for this to make it easy, but feel free to use your favorite brownie recipe, if you prefer), a sweet mint layer and a chocolate topping. The result is a richly-flavored treat the kids will go nuts over.
