With St. Patrick's day soon approaching, my son kept reminding me of how fun it was to search for the leprechaun gold in school last year. So, we decided to make some appropriately themed cookies to bring out our own pot of gold. Your little leprechaun's will love making these tasty golden treats! Although we're a few weeks away from the Chicago River turning green (isn't it pretty much green all year long?) it's never too early to plan. After all, with kids the days and weeks just seem to fly on by, don't they?
Supplies:
- Yellow candy melts
- Gold sprinkles
- Round cookie of your choice
- Candy melting pot or double boiler
- Spoon
Instructions:
- Melt chocolate
- Use the spoon to pour chocolate over a cookie
- Scatter the sprinkles to cover the cookie top & sides
- Let dry flat
- Repeat as desired
The kids will love helping to make these fun cookies for the whole family. Have them shower the cookies with sprinkles. (Remember to cover the top and sides). If you want to give these golden shimmering cookies as gifts, you can package them in a cellophane bag tied with a ribbon and a rainbow drawing from your kid(s). After all, the gold can indeed be found at the end of a rainbow. (And don't worry if the "real" leprechauns are shocked that you are giving away so freely these little pots of gold!)

Make it simple, make it fun and make it with the kids!
