Green shamrocks are made by melting green candy coating and placing melted candy in a candy mold. Once hardened, pop candies out and garnish your St. Patty’s Day treats.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

That looks great! My kids tried one from Mc Donald’s the other day and one of them said it made his tummy sick. Apparently there was too much mint extract. Homemade sounds great though!

Thank you! My husband is going to L-O-V-E me for making this. He’s been flipping out because he looks forward to McD’s Shamrock Shakes every year and apparently they are at select locations this year. Those select locations being nowhere near us.

This will be on our menu! Sounds yummy and my mouth shouldn’t be watering at ice cream this early in the morning. Changing the shamrocks to a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie though. They are on hand and you can’t beat cookies and ice cream. Who am I kidding? You can’t beat anything and ice cream. Thanks for another wonderful idea.

I am new to this site but love all of your ideas! We will be making this for our dessert tonight and I am using the free cupcake toppers you had listed last week on the straws to make them more festive.

Thanks for all the great ideas!

Thank you so much for posting this. I’m allergic to milk but following your directions I was able to use my fake milk and ice cream to make myself a shake. I’ve been missing out for all these years!!!
