This past weekend we went up to Dallas to celebrate good ole St. Patrick in all his glory: a sea of green on Dallas' Greenville Street (somewhat like Savannah's River Street festivities) complete with green beer.
St. Patty is getting more love than Santa this year!
You don't even have to be Irish to appreciate this sweet and salty twist on an American classic.
These little Leprechaun Treats are sure to be eaten up amongst all the mischief that St. Patty's Day brings; not to mention, they're incredibly easy to whip up.
