ST. PATRICK’S DAY POPCORN
We are not from Irish descent and yet when we were kids our mom always cooked a special St. Patrick’s Day meal on March 17th complete with Corned Beef and Cabbage and a “green” dessert. We try to keep up with the tradition (although truth time, sometimes we leave out the cabbage!) and great go-to; green dessert is our sweet and salty St. Patrick’s Day Popcorn. So easy to make and delicious enough for lure a Leprechaun out of hiding.
Once the popcorn is covered in marshmallow mixture it is time to add the candy. But don’t wait too long. You want the marshmallow mixture to still be warm and sticky. Sprinkle the candy onto the popcorn, concentrating on the areas with the most drizzled marshmallow mixture. Allow the St. Patrick’s Day Popcorn to cool. Break apart into pieces and serve.
St. Patrick’s Day Popcorn is a yummy sweet and salty popcorn treat that is so easy to make. Surprise your family with this fun St. Patrick’s Day dessert.
