St. Patrick’s Day Shake: SIDE IDEA
This St. Patrick’s Day Shake pairs perfectly with Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats. The chewy, marshmallow cereal bars complement the creamy shake beautifully and make your St. Patrick’s Day dessert table feel complete.
Together, they create the ultimate sweet and festive combo that kids absolutely love.
Crazy Busy Mama Tip
Decorate all your cups first before blending the shake. That way the ice cream doesn’t melt while you’re working on the rims. If serving a crowd, keep the blender ready and make them one at a time for best texture.
