St. Patrick’s Day Treat for Kids

This recipe is kid-friendly, and the kids will love helping in the kitchen.

Children of almost any age can help with this recipe, especially the unwrapping part. Because who wants to do that?

You will want to make sure your children don’t get too close when the candy comes out of the oven though!

It’s a great recipe to get kids in the kitchen and help them learn that making things in the kitchen can be fun and tasty.

If you’ve got 30 minutes to spend in the kitchen, you’ll easily be able to make enough Pot of Gold Pretzels for a huge crowd or just a classroom of children.

Best of all, if your children were nice enough to let you know in advance that they need a snack for the party, you can make these 2 to 3 days ahead of time. And, if you and the kids happen to eat them all before the party, it won’t take long to make another batch.

Great for Grown-Ups Too

Now, if you want to do something sweet for your sweetheart for St. Patrick’s Day, make a batch of Pot of Gold Pretzels and pop them into a cute container. Add a message on the box that says, “You’re my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.” You’ll look like a romance rock star and it’s an unexpected little gift for your partner.

Whatever the reason, make a batch of these Pot of Gold Pretzels. Not only are they quick and easy to make, but they’re also delicious.
