The Sweetest St Patrick's Treats

Whip up some sweet and tasty fun with these eye-catching rainbow cupcakes featured in Disney Family Fun Magazine. Easy to make and even more fun to eat! Decorate the tops with rainbow sprinkles or gold-covered chocolate coins.

For another sweet, but less sugary, dessert treat, try the pots of gold for your favorite little leprechauns, also featured in Disney Family Fun Magazine.

No time to bake? No problem! Keep it simply festive. Add some green food coloring to vanilla pudding, vanilla yogurt, milk, eggs, pancake batter, the possibilities (and giggles) are endless!

This is also a good time to start collecting items to surprise your little one on St. Patrick's Day. At our house, a magical little leprechaun stops by for a visit and wreaks some havoc around the house, but also leaves behind a special treat. More on this magical leprechaun visit tomorrow, but it's a good idea to start prepping now.

Suggestions: Several "gold" dollar coins (available at banks) and/or gold-covered chocolate coins; a variety of silly green treats and toys (available at the $1 Store) like green cars, green bouncy balls, a green cup, green pencils, shamrock stickers, green bendy straws, green M&Ms, green toothbrush, green bracelet or ring or necklace, green hair ties, etc...
