I happen to love the color green. I don’t think it gets nearly the attention it deserves. So when St. Patrick’s Day comes around I get super excited and start thinking up all these fun and yummy treats to make, in green! That’s why I decided to put together these St. Patrick’s Day Cake Pops. They are super cute and really fun to make.
Put one in your child’s lunchbox, or bring them to the office. You can even give them out to your Irish friends. Either way, these are a definite crowd pleaser.
