St. Patrick's Day Food & Irish Jello Shots

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

Sadly we are at the end of our 17 days of St. Patrick’s Day Food and Fun! I hope you have enjoyed it! We are finishing up with a quick treat, that you can easily still pull together today…Irish Jello Shots…the non-alcoholic kind.

Everyone loves jello right? Inspired by the Rainbow Jello I made last year, I created some fun Irish Jello, with the colors of the flag and put them in plastic shot glasses.

Aren’t they fun? The kiddos {and adults} are sure to love them! And if you are serving adults, making them with alcohol is always a hit too. We have made them before with alcohol, and those that drink, love them.

But for today…we are keeping it kid friendly and less expensive.

If you are interested, here is a Jello Shot {with alcohol} Recipe.

What else are you serving today? I thought I’d do a round up of a few {or more} ideas for St. Patrick’s Day Food…
