Shamrock’n Fun

This is a very easy, fun way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with your family. My kids want to make these every year. We originally saw the recipe in one of the Family Fun magazines but I’m not even sure what month or year it was from since the recipe is all battered, torn, and barely recognizable at this point. If you are really interested in finding it, I’m sure it is on their website.

This treat is great because all you need are Pillsbury breadsticks, dairy-free margarine, cinnamon and green colored sugar. I love that it’s only 4 ingredients and all I have to do is head to the store to grab some breadsticks.  Pillsbury also makes dairy and egg-free corn bread, pizza dough and crescent rolls. Not all their products are dairy and egg-free so make sure you read the labels first.

You just roll out the breadsticks and grab 4 sections for each shamrock. Twist them to make the shape of the leaves and stem and then squish them together. This is always our kid’s favorite part! Then brush melted, dairy-free margarine on top, sprinkle with cinnamon then sprinkle again with the green colored sugar. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-13 minutes.
