DIY St. Patrick’s Day Treats!
March 8th, 2011
Even though I have bright red hair, I’m not the least bit Irish but that doesn’t mean I can’t celebrate St. Patricks Day like I am! This week I’ve got two DIY projects in honor of ol’ St. Pat and this first one is a sweet twist on a pot of gold.
Simply cut rice crispy treats into the shape of gold bars, wrap in parchment paper and gold foil and serve! Don’t worry about cutting them perfectly, once wrapped in the gold foil, they truly look like the real deal! Fun for a party, lunch boxes or even shimmering favors!

Oh my word these are just fantastically awesome! And it just so happens I bought the ingredients for these treats last night at the grocery store – coincidence? I think not 🙂

Kathleen, I must know where that cake pedestal is from asap. Other than that, this St. Patty’s day tutorial is so great! Almost anything gold is a win in my book.

My husband got those for me for my birthday from Mosser Glass. They took forever but SO worth the wait!

Kathleen, I LOVE your blog! I was so excited to see a jadeite cake stand, and what a creative idea with the gold foil! My company is one of the few authorized distributors for Mosser and I’ve developed a love for their pieces! Thinking of buying one myself. 🙂

I’m planning on making some of these tonight, but with Lucky Charms instead of Rice Krispies. Thanks for the inspiration!
