Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It’s a great day to enjoy a big ole cold Shamrock shake. And a few Irish stouts. But that’s later. For now let’s concentrate on this shake. This killer concoction puts the rest to shame. Of course it’s green. And of course it’s big time minty. That’s all you need. It’s fun to make and of course even more fun to eat. I loved this shake. It made me happy!

Better Out Of A Vintage Soda Glass!

This Shamrock shake is even yummier when served out of a vintage soda glass. I found this 1950s one in the Exit 76 antique mall and just had to get it. It’s very heavy and tall, perfect for a shake or a soda. You don’t have to worry about knocking it over. It’s not going anywhere!

These shamrock Peeps Rice Krispies treats were fun to make…

…specially if you’re into watching poor little Peeps meet their demise in a hot pot! My wife hates when I do this to ‘them’.

Although I used green Peeps to make these for St. Patrick’s day, you can use any color, or even a combination of colors (don’t mix them together – let them melt in place). They taste just like your usual Rice Krispies treats. If you don’t have Peeps (they are now available year-round in some places), just use marshmallows and green food coloring.

Peeps melted down make for a fun syrup to add to any Rice Krispies treat.

Goodbye, Peeps!

These Shamrock Peeps Rice Krispies Treats are a great twist on those usual treats. If you’re in a hurry, buy the pre-made ones from the store. Make the Peeps syrup and pour it over top. Let it cool a bit and serve!
