Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Lucky Charms

While St. Patrick's Day was once a simple religious feast day, it has been transformed over the years into a huge celebration. And who wouldn't want to celebrate when the traditions include wearing green, watching a parade and drinking Guinness? Wearing a shamrock and painting yourself green might be a good way to show your appreciation for Paddy in the States, but we've found some great recipe ideas you wont even need to leave the house to create!

If you want to keep it simple why not treat yourself to a bowl of Lucky the Leprechaun's Lucky Charms (or maybe a Lucky Charms Cereal Bar!), while reading a bit about how they were created right here? And to help you we've taken £1.00 off our 1lb box of Charms for one day only, so grab a box before midnight tonight! Or why not try decorating your cakes and cookies (or whatever else you like!) with some marbits from your cereal.

And for those of you really looking to make your friends green with envy at your baking skills, try out these Lucky Charms Crispy Treats and amazing Little Lucky Whoopie Pies recipes. We'd love to hear from you if you've tried out any of these recipes, or created some of your own! Send us your pictures and we'll pop them on the blog for everyone to see...happy St. Patrick's Day!
