st patrick day puppy chow

St Patrick's day is closely associated with a  pot of gold, the color green and leprechauns Shamrocks were worn as a badge on the lapel, the number 3 was a magical number so the three petals of the shamrock are thought to bring good luck. The shamrock and the three leaves also was used to represent the Trinity of the father, son and holy ghost in Christian faith. 

This fun recipe is a great one to share on St. Patrick's day as many of the customary signs of the holiday are shared. Enjoy!!!

1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup green candy-coated chocolate candies
1/4 cup Lucky Charms Marshmallows

Place cereal in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
In a small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High for one minute and then stir until melted and smooth.
Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal and stir until evenly coated.
Place half of the cereal mixture in a seal-able food storage bag  and add the powdered sugar.
Shake the bag until well coated then spread the cereal out on a baking sheet and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
