HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! Recipe for Sweet GREEN Pretzels

RECIPE: Sweet GREEN Pretzels
Marcia Norwood, AMERICA'S STORYTELLER

Most American's can't resist "wearin' the green" on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day.  Even if you've never kissed the Blarney stone or visited Ireland, you may feel a bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day.




The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland
and has been registered
by the government of Ireland as a trademark.


It is used as an emblem for sports teams as well as organizations within the Irish government.  A four leaf clover is a symbol of good luck.  A shamrock is  an Irish Christian symbol.
RECIPE: Sweet GREEN Pretzels
Here's a tasty new twist on the traditional St. Patrick's Day shamrock -- sweet green pretzels fashioned from canned refrigerated bread stick dough and coated with a sprinkling of colored sugar and cinnamon.
INGREDIENTS:
Canned refrigerated bread stick dough (We used Pillsbury Original Breadsticks)
Colored sugar
Cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS


  • Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.




  • To create the clover shape, mold 3 sections of bread sticks into hearts and press them together as shown. Attach a small stem, decorate with colored sugar and cinnamon.




  • Bake according to the package directions, and serve them up to your lucky guests.

      I love coming here with my morning coffee. It's like my own person Good Housekeeping magazine, 15 yrs ago before it began running cheap material. Not $$$ cheap, cheap....
      Plus, I always come away with learning something. I'm a die hard Irish girl and I never knew the shamrock was a trademark. Love you Marcia, you're the best!!! Your photo's are pure art...so talented, and I would know :)

        Good Morning, Irish girl! It's a blessing to receive your message. I really do think about and pray for people who read my stories, and it's a joy to hear from a reader!

        Thank you for sharing, and for stopping by as you have that morning coffee.

        Life can be difficult. It helps me to look for beauty in ordinary things, and challenge myself to learn something new each day.

        Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement!

        God's richest blessings to you!
        Marcia
