The ingredients required for this recipe are simple. All you need is a box of Rice Krispies cereal, a bag of mini marshmallows, butter or margarine, green candy melts, gold sanding sugar, and a shamrock cookie cutter.
To start preparing your easy St. Patrick’s Day dessert, melt butter in a large pot over low heat.
Add marshmallows, and stir until they are completely melted.
