Ingredients you will need:

6 cups crispy rice cereal
(10 ounce) miniature marshmallows
3 tablespoons butter
Sprinkling sugars: green and gold
Jumbo marshmallows (1 for each wand)
Candy melt wafers: yellow and green
Chocolate covered doughnuts (2 for each wand)
Coin sprinkles (Available at Michaels)
Rolo caramel candies (1 for each wand)
Airhead Extreme candy ribbons (1 for each wand)

You will also need:

Shamrock cookie cutter
Toothpicks
Waxed paper
Bamboo skewers (1 for each wand)

Shamrock Krispy Treat Instructions

Prepare a 13 x 9 baking sheet with wax paper and a spritz of non-stick cooking spray.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. When the butter is melted, add the marshmallows and melt, stirring constantly. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Fold in the cereal. Stir until the cereal is coated in the marshmallow.
Using a buttered spatula or greased wax paper evenly press mixture into baking sheet. Cool completely.
Use cookie cutter to cut treats. If the treats are loose, press additional krispy mixture into the cookie cutter before releasing the shape onto waxed paper. Reshape the remaining cereal in your baking pan until all is used. Cut away horn from treat if using a swirl lollipop.
Place green candy melts in a microwave safe bowl. Melt on high heat, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Do not overheat. If the candy is too thick, add vegetable shortening or coconut oil in 1 teaspoon increments, up to 1 tablespoon, and stir well. Do not add water.
Pour candy into a zip-top freezer bag or a piping bag. Snip the corner and drizzle melted candy over krispy treats. Immediately add green sprinkling sugar. Press a coin sprinkle into the melted candy.
Allow to dry completely before adding the bamboo skewer.

Dipped marshmallow instructions

Place colored candy bark in a microwave safe bowl. Melt on high heat, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Do not overheat. If the candy is too thick, add vegetable shortening or coconut oil in 1 teaspoon increments, up to 1 tablespoon, and stir well. Do not add water.
Pierce each jumbo marshmallow with a toothpick to create a handle for dipping.
Dip each marshmallow into candy coating to create an angle across the marshmallow. Place marshmallow with the dipped side down on waxed paper to dry completely.

Pot of Gold doughnut instructions

Place doughnuts on waxed paper or cookie cooling rack.
Place colored candy bark in a microwave safe bowl. Melt on high heat, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Do not overheat. If the candy is too thick, add vegetable shortening or coconut oil in 1 teaspoon increments, up to 1 tablespoon, and stir well. Do not add water.
Dip each doughnut halfway into the melted candy. Place on waxed paper.
Immediately add sprinkling sugar and coin sprinkles.
Allow doughnuts to set completely before assembling the treat wands.
