St. Patrick’s Day is known for the fun and festivities that it brings on the 17th of every March. While it is widely known as secular holiday that celebrates Irish culture, it’s origins lie in the celebration of Saint Patrick, who is credited as bringing Christianity to Ireland. Traditional celebration days include feasting, wearing of green, and other activities. Sweets are an essential part of any large meal, and we loved this shamrock fudge recipe! Add this recipe to your table on home to feel the luck o’ the Irish on St. Patty’s day!
Ingredients:
- 10 Oreo cookies or equivalents

Directions:
