High fives for me! For once I’m ahead of the holiday curve. We’re about a month away from St. Patrick’s Day and I have a fun Leprechaun Treat to show you today.
I don’t really decorate for St. Patrick’s Day but it’s always fun to make a themed dessert or treat. 
The inspiration for this Leprechaun Treat came from this clearance bag of Winter Chocolate Chips. It’s a combo bag with chocolate and mint chips and the market had it reduced for clearance. It was simple enough to separate out the chocolate and mint chips and I’ll save the chocolate ones for another recipe.
I decided to make a mock whoopie pie using store bought Vanilla Wafers. It doesn’t get easier than that. Of course, if you’re ambitious you can make your own cookies or whoopie pie cakes. The filling is leftover frosting from a birthday cake I made last week. You’ll want to fill your cookies generously and then push down on the top so that the frosting just starts to overflow a little. 
Chop up those heavenly mint chips. 
Then roll the cookie edges in the chips. You can put them in the refrigerator so everything sets into place. When you’re ready to serve them bring them to room temperature again. Whoopie!
Doesn’t it look like I was in the kitchen baking for hours? Okay, maybe not, but not bad for clearance mint chips, leftover frosting and vanilla wafers.
Easy peasy St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun Treats.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
