Do you want to make a special treat that's perfect for St. Patrick’s Day?  Here are the 5 best, simple recipes found from all over the Internet!

1. Copycat Shamrock Shake

Joanna Reid

This recipe is almost an exact replica of the classic McDonald's Shamrock Shake, and it only takes minutes to make.  It's sweet and cool with a touch of minty goodness.  This was my personal favorite, and it's greatly customizable.  For example, if you're vegan or dairy-free, you can swap out the milk with one of your choosing.  In addition, you can swap out the ice cream if needed.  Now, you can have this light and frothy treat all year long!

2. Clover Pretzels

If you’re looking for a quick and easy recipe that doesn’t require baking, then these shamrock pretzels are perfect!  The mix of sweet and salty is delicious, you get a nice crunch as the chocolate melts in your mouth, and you can use any sprinkles to top them off.  This is a great dessert to feed a small group or if you're just looking for something to snack on throughout your St. Patrick's Day, not to mention it's a festive green color.

3. Pot-O-Gold Popcorn Bites

Indulge in these popcorn bites that are a mouth-watering snack.  The best part is that they can be made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen, and they resemble the gold at the end of the rainbow.  They're crunchy, sweet, and buttery, and the honey in them adds a sugary taste that resembles kettle corn.  This treat can double as a snack and a dessert, and it's also a great treat to make for friends or family!

Treat yourself with these delectable cereal treats.  This is another sweet that doubles as a snack and a dessert.  With these cereal treats, you get double the amount of marsh-mallows.  When you bite down, the entire thing is coated in marshmallow, and you get to enjoy the sweet sensation that is the crispness of the glazed cereal, as well as the smooth cereal marshmallows on the inside that add a pop of color.  These are great for kids or for a party treat.  These cereal treats are unlike any other, not to mention they take only minutes to make, so they're simple and great if you're in a time crunch.
