All about the Green!!

As iw as looking around for some St. Patricks Day ideas i found a few cute things i would love to share to hlp make that a fun day for the kiddos...

Over at  FAMILY FUN They had a lot of cute ideas...

#1 - Rainbow Cupcakes


  1. To make one, first top a cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe) with grass-green frosting.
  2. For the rainbow, use a large, heavy knife (parents only) to cut a long, narrow strip from each of several flavors of Airheads candies (this is sticky stuff, so work on waxed paper). Lay the strips side by side, press them together, then cut the ribbon of strips in half to make two rainbows.
  3. Curve each one into an arch and trim the ends as shown. Set one rainbow upright on the cupcake (save the other for another cupcake) and deposit a pot's worth of gold coins at one end. If necessary, place a gold coin behind the rainbow for support.


Instructions
  1. To make a batch, cover a work surface with a sheet of waxed paper. For each clover, arrange three yogurt-covered mini pretzels and a pretzel section as shown.
  2. Combine 1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil with 1/4 cup white chocolate chips and melt them together in the microwave according to the chips' package directions. Dab the mixture between the pretzel pieces to adhere them. Let the chocolate harden.
  3. Working with one clover at a time, pipe the edges and stem with green icing (we used a #8 round piping tip), then quickly sprinkle it with decorating sugar (we used white, light green, and dark green).
Tips:
To save sugar, sprinkle each clover on a small piece of waxed paper. After you've covered a few treats, use the paper to funnel the extra sugar back into its jar.
 #3 sweet-shamrocks
Sweet Shamrock Pretzels

Here's a tasty new twist on the traditional St. Patrick's Day shamrock -- sweet green pretzels fashioned from canned refrigerated bread stick dough and coated with a sprinkling of colored sugar and cinnamon.
Ingredients
  • Canned refrigerated bread stick dough (we used Pillsbury Original Breadsticks)
  • Colored sugar
  • Cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  2. To create the clover shape, mold 3 sections of bread sticks into hearts and press them together as shown. Attach a small stem, decorate, bake according to the package directions, and serve them up to your lucky guests
