St. Patrick’s Day is such a fun holiday. It’s a great sign that spring is coming, and the decorations are so fun. ALL the green, and the colors and the leprechauns, and the clovers!! I love holidays and being able to create delicious desserts to celebrate them.

One of my favorite things to incorporate into desserts is CEREAL. Honestly, cereal in general is just one of my favorite foods. There are so many kinds I’m obsessed with and it’s literally the fastest and easiest food to make. Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, a quick snack or even your way out of cooking dinner, cereal will have your back. It’s like the possibilities are endless. Especially when baking with cereal or using it as an ingredient.
LUCKY CHARMS are the star of this dessert. Its used in the cookie dough, the buttercream frosting and topped with some as well. And let’s be honest, Lucky Charms cereal is one of the most well loved cereals, especially around St.Patty’s Day!!

For St.Patrick’s Day this year, I made a Thin Mint Milkshake and its SO YUM. If you like thin mints or mint chocolate chip ice cream, you’ll LOVE this shake. The second one I made are these cookies and they are seriously so fun and yummy. If you’re having a party or celebration for St.Patty’s day, this would be the perfect St.Patrick’s day dessert. Make sure you save these posts on Pinterest so you don’t forget to make them!!
When I first started baking 7 years ago, I made a video on my youtube channel where I made St. Patrick’s day treats and of course, looking back it is so cringey yet still so fun. I made chocolate pretzels in the shape of clovers, chocolate cupcakes with gold and rainbow sour strip candies to look like pots of gold and then I made a “leprechaun bait” treat that’s like a cereal mix. So yum!!
These cookies would be perfect for so many things. To pack something fun and festive in your kids lunch, bring to a fun St.Patrick’s day party, a family gathering, potluck, birthday party. So many fun options. (P.S. you could even switch the cereal out with another kind and use it for another theme.)
Mainly all my recipes contain ingredients that are super easy to find or that you probably will already have in your kitchen!! Here is a list of everything you’ll need to make these cookies.
