St. Patrick’s Day Rice Krispie Shamrock Treats

By EstherIrish, on March 17th, 2011

Happy St. Patrick’s Day or Happy “Irish” Day as the kids like to refer to it! We will be busily celebrating today!

I love telling the kids the story of St. Patrick and how he was telling people about God. As he was explaining the Trinity, he saw a three leaf clover and used it to help explain that God is three persons in One. Veggie Tales has a clip on St. Patrick’s Day that we like to watch. You can find it on YouTube.

Here is a fun and easy treat we made. I followed this recipe. It was a hit although most of us agreed that we preferred them without the candy coating, but it was a fun alternative. Oh and how about those clashing shades of green? Ha ha!

Oh yes, veggie tales is hilarious! The boys are forever quoting them. Have a fun-filled day!

They don’t clash. They accent each other Hope you enjoy your day. I was telling my husband this morning (who surprisingly dressed in a green shirt. I’m still a little shocked) about all of the fun things you do for the day.

That’s sweet. I didn’t know or remember that about the shamrock. Hope you have a great day – we’re going to the parade because the weather is supposed to be warm today. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

St. Paddy’s Day sugar overload! They do look really great — even with the clashing going on.

I have never really known where St. Patrick’s Day came from, but I love green and I love Irish music! I’ll have to check out the Veggie Tales video with the boys! Thanks!
