9 Must-Have St. Patrick’s Day Recipes including classic breads, cookies, shamrock shakes and FREE printable straw & cupcake toppers!!
Happy first day of March!! March means that we are close to Spring and St. Patrick’s Day! The warm weather and the leprechaun come to pay a visit to our home! The leprechaun leaves behind a rumpled mess, streamers hanging everywhere, green bagels, and chocolate coins!
Here in all one place are 9 of our must-have Irish savory and sweet recipes as well as a couple fun printables for cupcakes and shamrock shakes!
In the days leading up to this Irish holiday, we eat traditional Irish food like soda bread, Irish beef Stew, Corn Beef and Cabbage, and Bangers and Mashed Potatoes!
We also dive into the sweet side of things with Irish Potatoes, Shamrock Shakes, and Green Frosted Cupcakes!
While being snowed in we decided to create our own sweet, minty {shamrock shake}! After a couple of tweaks we perfected this ice cream amazingness! This shamrock shake is one milkshake worth getting brain freeze for!
Brought to Ireland in the 1840’s baking soda was used to make this bread rise instead of yeast. The shape of the bread changes from a round loaf to flat discs depending where in Ireland you are. This {Irish Soda Bread} doesn’t last long in our home!
With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner we decided to create a {bakery styled cupcake}that has a green shamrock shape inside and is topped with a green and white swirled cream cheese frosting.
5 ingredients are all it takes to create these sweet, chocolatey bursts of mint goodness! The best part is that it is not hard to do! I searched in the pantry and fridge for what I needed and was so excited that I had everything on hand! Check out this {peppermint patty recipe}!
We decided to change things up a bit and make shamrock shaped cake mix cookies with {copycat} Panera icing! We had the best time mixing, shaping, and baking these {Irish Cake Mix Cookies}!
I was able to sneak some cereal away to create these {Lucky Charms Popcorn Bars}! Lucky Charms cereal, marshmallows, and microwave popcorn come together to create this sweet and salty treat! To add some extra sweetness I drizzled white chocolate and sprinkled some shamrocks on these lucky charms popcorn bars!
The thick, creamy slightly minty green shake is one of our favorites! It can only be found this time of year in honor of St. Patrick’s Day! Last year I decided to create my own shake recipe so that we could enjoy this amazing Shamrock Shake all year long!
This year I decided to kick it up a notch and create fun {straw toppers} to go along with the countless Shamrock Shakes we consume!
This {leprechaun snack mix}is a sweet and salty mix made up of the classic muddy buddies recipe, yogurt covered pretzels with green chocolate drizzle, and mint M&Ms. We ate some, stored some away, and pack some in quart sized mason jars to give away to some friends!
In addition, to the all the meat and potatoes was a thick slice of {Irish Brown Bread} slathered in butter. The bread had a crusty outside, soft inside, and a slight tangy taste. There was something delicious about it that made me want to eat the entire slice.
Which St. Patrick’s Day recipe is your favorite? We also enjoy eating corned beef and cabbage with a side of brown bread on St. Patrick’s Day!
