How to Make Green Shamrock Rice Krispie Treats

These treats are so fun and easy to make! You can even include the kiddos in the making, just be careful when ingredients come out of the microwave, they can get warm! My kids love cutting out the shapes once the krispie treats have cooled.

1. Grease a small 9×13” pan with butter or a non stick cooking spray.
2. In two large microwave safe bowls, separate your marshmallows in half with 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and heat for 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows get puffy

3. Mix in a couple drops of food coloring in one and about four in the other to achieve to different colors.
4. Now mix in three cups of Rice Krispies cereal in each bowl.

5. Scoop each color into your pan, half and half, press down firmly and freeze for 15 minutes before using a clover cookie cutter to cut out your shapes.

6. Melt your candy melts In a small microwave safe bowl on 50% power for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

7. Dip the clovers halfway into the white chocolate and top with sprinkles.

8. Let harden for 30 minutes and enjoy!
