Top O' the Morning To Ya!

Or top of the evening......depending on when you're 

reading this!

I wish you lots of luck and fun on 

St. Patrick's Day, Glitterinas!

Thank you so much for stopping by 

Pink Glitter 

and sharing a few minutes with me.

I have a friend that I went to high school with 

who finds more 

four leaf clovers than anyone else.....ever....

every year!

Yes, you, Lynn!

You lucky, lucky lady!

I have to make my own 

shamrocks....and that's just 

what I'm doing today.

Please join me in the kitchen for a fun 

and simple craft recipe.

I'll just put on my apron and we'll get 

started.

Here's what I'll be using today.....

pretzels (curly and straight)

Rolos

green M&Ms

cookie sheet

Silpat liner

oven

platter

......and that's pretty much it!

Begin by arranging some of the traditional (curly) pretzels 

in threes 

on a silpat lined cookie sheet.

I like to use a silpat liner anytime 

I use Rolos because of the sticky, but very yummy,

caramel inside.

Leave plenty of room between the rows

for the stick pretzels (stems).

My shamrocks are not quite as lucky as Lynn's 

but it's fine, I bet they taste better!

When all the shamrocks are arranged, I add the stems.....

I try to keep the placement nice and tight so the 

Rolo in the center of each one will hold all the parts

together.

It's now time for the Rolo placement....the only difficult 

part of this project is unwrapping the Rolos.

It's really not hard just a bit time consuming, I guess!

Here we go.....

Tah-Dah!

Into the oven they go.....at 350º for about 5 minutes.

When they have done their time in the oven

I place the cookie sheet on a cooling rack and place a green M&M 

on top of each Rolo.

(Any color, of course, would work, but why not use green?)

Using one of my favorite, simple kitchen tools,

I press each M&M down, gently, into the 

Rolo.

Can you tell what my kitchen tool is, 

Glitterinas?

It's a long, plastic chop stick.

Very handy for many little kitchen cooking jobs!

I let the shamrocks cool for about 30 minutes and then 

transfer them to a platter or a decorative serving piece.

Pretty cute, huh?!

I also made some little nibbles for my

sweet husband.....just because he's my 

favorite lucky charm!

These are just a pretzel, Rolo, M&M.....not even on a silpat,

because he could not care less if they stick a bit.

He just cares about getting to snack on them!

I put together a tray of 

St. Patrick's Day snacks for my 

grand~darlings.....I used the shamrocks and some 

little candy cups on some fun, green doilies.

I like the way it turned out.

What do you think, Glitterinas?

Do you think the grands will like it?

I want to thank you again for stopping by 

Pink Glitter.

Please leave me a comment.

I really enjoy hearing what you think 

about each post!

Stay safe and keep washing those hands.

Big hug....ooooops, no, make that a nice elbow bump,

Tammy
