My family loves crispy cereal treats – so we were trying to come up with an easy treat for the kids school parties and we came across the Lucky Charms St. Patrick’s Day or Leprechaun addition cereal. We decided to make these St. Patrick’s Day Marshmallow Treats for school and boy were they good!

We love celebrating the holidays because we can make treats and desserts to eat and bring to school to share. These bars were a big hit and I loved the shamrock marshmallows. They were the perfect addition for the class party and are so easy to make for home too. You may want to make two batches.
