Happy St. Patrick's Day!

While neither of us have the time or energy for green beer tonight, we did have a green day...  The boys & I had a play date today.  We spent time painting with green pudding, eating cookies with green sprinkles, not to mention wearing green (the boys, not me).  

When play time was over, it was time to go home.  We couldn't avoid the temptation that greeted us at the front door... PUDDLES!  So I grabbed the camera & we had some fun...

Marshmallow Popcorn Balls

Well I'm awesome & forgot today was snack day for one of the boys.  So, tomorrow I'll provide a snack (juice & crackers) along with a treat for their St. Patrick's Day party.  I made green popcorn balls & they are yummy (taste like Rice Krispie bars)!  Here's the recipe:

2 bags microwave popcorn

6 Tbsp butter

5 cups mini marshmallows
1 tsp vanilla, if desired

Food coloring, if desired

Prepare popcorn according to directions on package.  Remove any unpopped kernels.  Spray a large bowl with cooking spray & add popcorn.  Melt butter & marshmallows together over med heat.  Add food coloring, if desired.  Pour over popcorn.  Spray hands with cooking spray & mix until well blended.  Using hands, form mixture into balls & place to wax paper until set.  Package individually & enjoy!
