Shamrock Shake

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.

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.

Shamrock Peeps Rice Krispies Treats

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.

Shamrock Peeps Rice Krispies Treats

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

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Spray a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • Melt the butter over low heat in a large non-stick pot.
  • Add the Peeps to the pot and melt them, stirring occasionally. Do not overcook or the butter will burn.
  • Remove pot from heat and stir in the cereal.
  • Pour the mixture into a baking dish and spread it out. I used a spatula sprayed with non-stick spray to make it easier to spread out the cereal.
  • Let cool 30 minutes and cut into bars.
