St. Patrick’s Day Treats: Leprechaun Bait

This post may contain affiliate links.

Time to dig through your closet and find your green. St. Patrick’s Day is on the horizon and you don’t want to be the only one getting pinched all day. I’m not a big fan of green clothes, in case you missed it, I’m pretty fair skinned and have strawberry blonde hair. Throw in a green shirt and I might as well look like a leprechaun. Don’t think for a second this stopped me from buying my little leprechaun the cutest St. Patty’s outfit, lots of green. We’ll be a pair, I promise there will be pictures. I’ve been filling my Pinterest board full of adorable ideas.

St. Patrick's Day Treats // Leprechaun Bait // Life Anchored

Back on track, St. Patrick’s Day, green clothes, green food and leprechauns. Time to get in the kitchen and make some St. Patrick’s Day treats, also known as Leprechaun Bait. We put a fun spin on a traditional recipe to make it a little more festive and green of course.
