Marshmallow Treats Leprechaun Balls Recipe
I have been busy making different dessert recipes for St. Patrick’s Day. Chocolate Mint Cupcakes, Shamrock Marshmallows and now some Leprechaun Balls. These are made using Lucky Charms cereal using the regular marshmallow treat recipe.
The oat cereal is really good done this way. I would say they are best when first made. Make sure to put them in a air tight container to store them.
