Whether you always celebrate St. Patrick’s Day or just leave the celebrating to the Irish, some green treats can add a fun flair to the end of a long winter. Your kids will enjoy making these with you!

Green Milkshake

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3/4 cup frozen vanilla yogurt or ice cream
• 1/8 teaspoon green Kool-Aid mix of choice

WHAT YOU’LL DO
Blend ingredients in blender until smooth. Serve immediately. Makes one milkshake.

Dipped oreos

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
• double-stuffed Oreos (or regular)
• green and white melting chocolate/candy melts
• green and white sprinkles
• wax or parchment paper

WHAT YOU’LL DO
Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl (check and stir it every 30 seconds to make sure it doesn’t overcook). You can buy green candy melts or just add food coloring to white chocolate. Dip each Oreo halfway into the chocolate and lay it on a sheet of parchment or wax paper. Shake the sprinkles onto each cookie while the chocolate is still warm. Let them sit and harden for 20 minutes.

Jello roll ups

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
• 1 small package green Jell-O
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 cup small marshmallows

WHAT YOU’LL DO
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together Jell-O mix and boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Add the marshmallows and microwave for 30 seconds. Mix together until the marshmallows are completely melted. Pour mixture into a greased 8″ x 8″ pan and refrigerate for at least an hour. Use a knife to cut around the edges of the pan to release the Jell-O. Roll the Jell-O as tightly as you can. Cut 1” wide pieces using a sharp, thin knife.
