Go Green
In a couple days, I expect everyone will be going green for a day. And I don’t mean earth friendly, I mean St. Patrick’s Day! I think it’s fun to celebrate holidays with festive treats to help us get in the mood. Duncan Hines has some great recipe ideas when it comes to creative and yummy St. Patrick’s Day treats. Using a Duncan Hines brownie mix, I also tried a treat of my own.

Clover Patch Brownies
For an easy fun treat, try these Clover Patch Brownies

Ingredients:
• 1 pkg Duncan Hines® Family Style Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix
• 1 pkg pre-made marzipan or fondant
• green food coloring
• green toothpicks
Baking Instructions:
1. Bake brownies according to instructions on box. Remove from oven and let cool. Cut brownies into squares.
2. Meanwhile, knead green food coloring into marzipan or fondant until desired shade of green is achieved.
3. Form small (1-inch) 3-leaf and 4-leaf clover shapes out of fondant or marzipan. Be realistic and make a lot more 3-leaf clovers than 4-leaf clovers.
4. Stick clover shapes on top of green toothpicks.
5. Insert little bunches of clovers onto each brownie.

I really wanted to make these but didn’t have the fondant to do the clovers. So, I decided to use a bit of food coloring on white chocolate chips. It seemed like a good idea at first, but because the chips were waxy, they didn’t hold the food coloring well. Oh well, they were super yummy anyway, and really easy to make.  I just followed the fudge brownie recipe on the back of the box, and added some white chocolate chips.

If you are in the mood for more of a cake, be sure to check out the Leprechaun Key Lime Cake. Have fun making your treats, and don’t forget to wear green, or you JUST might get pinched.
