33 St. Patrick's Day Desserts Better Than A Pot Of Gold... Or At Least Chocolate Coins
If you're celebrating St. Patrick's Day this year, we bet you're thinking all about the alcohol. But whether you're pub hopping or having a party at home, don’t push your luck—party guests can’t survive on green beer alone! May we also suggest having some dessert with your drinks…or even some drinks in your dessert 😉? Get inspired by our list of 33 St. Patrick’s Day desserts—they might just be better than the pot o’ gold at the end of the rainbow.
The way we see it, there are two camps when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day desserts: sweets that are extra-adorable, and sweets featuring standout Irish-inspired ingredients. If you’re looking for the perfect Pinterest-worthy celebration, we’ve got just the things: try turning any of your regular recipes into a colorful masterpiece with the help of some food dye and store-bought candy or cereal.
Green goes a long way this time of year to avoid getting pinched, but we're also pretty big fans of using the whole set of colors to make rainbow-hued baked goods too. Check out our shamrock cookies, our rainbow ice cream cake, our St. Patrick's Day cake, or our rainbow bundt cake to see how easy it is to achieve at home.
Colorful candies (like M&Ms or rainbow belts), sprinkles, or cereal (Lucky Charms, ofc!) are also easy ways to add some flair to your baked goods. Check out our pot o' gold cups, our leprechaun bait, our St. Patrick's Day cupcakes, or our Lucky Charms bars to see how we did it, but feel free to get creative and try adding them to your faves too. With all these, be warned—you might just experience cuteness overload.Another option is to shine a light on ingredients that go along with the St. Patrick’s Day theme, like Guinness, Bailey’s Irish Creme, or anything mint (it’s your something green!). We’ve got a number of desserts featuring these here, like our mini Bailey’s chocolate cheesecakes, our Guinness cake, our mint chocolate chip pie, our Bailey’s chocolate cream pie, our shamrock shakes, and more. Best part? These ingredients are an amazing way to jazz up a store-bought box cake mix, meaning these desserts are easy enough to make after you’ve already started drinking. 😉
