Why This Recipe

Festive. I am always looking for ways to celebrate the small moments in life and this is a fun and quick way to bring a smile to someone’s face. It really brings me joy when I can make someone’s day a little better.

Quick and Easy. I also love that these do not make much time to put together. I filled them with trail mix, but you can also fill them with candies, popcorn or shamrock cookies!

Fun. St. Patrick’s Day is something I look forward to because the first day of spring is just a few days away! Spring makes me think of longer days, wearing shorts and dresses and enjoying the flowers, although sometimes they do make my hay fever flare up, but it is worth it.

  1. I feel the same way. We are not even a little Irish but I love this holiday. I love the proximity to Daylight Savings and spring. New England has rough winters. Even when they’re very mild, they’re still rough because they’re dark and cold.
    And I love corned beef and little traits like this.
