Happy St. Patty's Day!

Feeling like a little treat this St. Patrick's Day (Sunday)?

Try these Shamrock Pretzel Treats!!!


Here is what you'll need:

  • Pretzels- small twists
  • Irish Cream Hershey Kisses (or just regular chocolate ones)
  • Mint (or just green) M&M's
  • Green Candy Melts (or frosting)
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cookie Sheet


  • Here's the How-To:

    1. Pre-heat your oven to 200˚.

    2. Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Cover with a single layer of pretzels and place a Hershey Kiss in the center of each pretzel.

    3. Place the cookie sheet in the oven at 200˚ for about 8 minutes, until the Hershey Kisses are soft, but not melted.

    4. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and immediately press 3 green M&M's on each Hershey Kiss, creating a Shamrock.

    5. Melt a few green candy melts (or use green frosting) and add a stem to each shamrock.

    6. Put them in the fridge until the chocolate sets back up.   Ready to serve!
