Growing up, my mom decorated for every holiday.  From the wall decor to the mantle, the plates to the placemats–everything was swapped out for the next holiday.

My love language is food, so finding ways to treat my loved ones is how I celebrate holidays like St. Patrick’s Day.  These festive OREO Pops are covered in chocolate and topped with themed sprinkles.  Because you can make an entire package of cookies at once, they’re perfect for a class party or any celebration.

St. Patrick’s Day OREO Pops

These St. Patrick’s Day OREO Pops are actually so simple to put together.  OREO Cookies, candy melts, and assorted theme sprinkles are all it takes!

I saw all of the sprinkles for St. Patrick’s Day end-capped at my Michael’s Store when roaming.  These are the sprinkles used in the pops:

Gold sugar sprinkles

Gold coin sprinkles (Available at Michaels)

Shamrock sprinkles (Available at Michaels)

Did you know you can use the Michael’s app to score great coupons?  Make sure to screenshot the coupon in advance so you aren’t fumbling with the app trying to access it in the checkout line.

If you happen to be shopping online, I adore this festive St. Patrick’s Day sprinkle collection.

The pops are perfect for sharing with your children, but also so pretty that you can serve them alongside a glass of Guinness for grown-ups too.

Each holiday is marked by the treats coming through our kitchen. With Valentine’s Day behind us, I’m ready to channel my inner Irish and get ready for St. Patrick’s Day.   My girls and I love baking adorable treats.  But we also love quick and easy holiday hacks.

These super cute Leprechaun cookies are perfect for making with kids!  The cookies are store-bought, so your job is solely to transform them into a happy leprechaun.  They’re made with candy melts and a few commercially available supplies.

Decorating can be done using squeeze bottles, which are a great thing to have on hand for bakers.  But if you’re looking to save (money or kitchen space), a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off totally works.

The cookies are great for sharing with the people who make you feel lucky.  If your child’s class or friend group doesn’t have allergy concerns, they also make an adorable snack for a classroom party.

The Cutest Leprechaun Cookies Recipe

To make the leprechauns, you’ll be dipping Nutter Butter cookies in melted candy.  Green makes up the hat with a thin black brim.  To give a little extra luck of the Irish, a shamrock sprinkle tops his hat.  My sprinkles were end capped at my local Michael’s store, but a similar sprinkle is available on Amazon.

The orange beard takes an ounce more precision, but is appropriate for beginning bakers.  The edible candy eyeballs can be set into hardening candy.  The little faces each have their own personalities when the eyes aren’t perfectly placed!

My husband and I got married just two days before Valentine’s Day.  The timing wasn’t exactly deliberate, but a convenient time for our schedules and the family we had traveling from out of town.  It’s made the whole week surrounding Valentine’s Day a fun celebration!

Knowing that our wedding was falling when others would typically be out celebrating with their own valentines, we added as many personal elements as we could.  We created a playlist of our guests’ love songs, used their lyrics as part of the decor, and honored their relationships’ longevity through an anniversary dance.

With another anniversary and Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I’m on the hunt for festive ways to celebrate.

This easy recipe for red velvet cookies starts with cake mix.  It’s an easy hack to make your baked goods come together in a snap.  They’re rolled in sugar to make them sparkle and topped with creamy white chocolate chips.  Another fun way to mix up your baking is to reserve your chocolate chips.  Don’t mix them in the batter but instead top your cookies with them mid-way through your baking.
