St. Patrick’s Day honestly happens to be one of my all-time favorite days of the year. I may not be 100% Irish. But still the smaller portion genetically that is revels in this day.

So makes sense that Valentine’s Day is now behind us that I begin to share my absolutely love and adoration for this most fun, green colored luck of the Irish day.

Trust me in the weeks to come here, I will most definitely have St. Patrick’s Day on display. For one thing, I married a man who is indeed 100% Irish. So between my love and his love for this day, we are in no short supply for St. Patrick’s Day inspiration around these parts.

One of the fun traditions for St. Patrick’s Day are Leprechauns.

Leprechauns according to folklore are a type of fairy. They are usually depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. They are solitary creatures who spend their time making and mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

First of all, I happen to be on the shorter side measuring only 5’2″. My husband is almost a foot taller than me. So one of his enduring references for me over the years has been a leprechaun. His humor never seems to fail, especially on this. Plus, as my girls first few years of school both in pre-school and elementary school, they always had the obligatory leprechaun visit.

So also makes sense to make Leprechaun Fudge for our family. It is truly a fun and yummy way to celebrate getting in the mood for St. Patrick’s Day.

Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Sticks of butter
  • 2 ½ cups Sugar
  • ⅔ cup half and half
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1 Jar of marshmallow fluff, 7 oz.
  • 1 c. White chocolate chips
  • Regular green and neon green food coloring
  • St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing 1 ½ sticks of butter in a pot over medium heat. Stir until they are melted. Step 1 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  2. Add the sugar and half and half to the pot, and stir until smooth. Continue to stir often scraping the bottom until the mixture comes to a light boil. Step 2 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  3. Add the vanilla once the mixture begins to boil, and continue boiling lightly while stirring constantly for about 4 minutes. Step 4 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  4. After 4 minutes, take the pot off of the heat and mix in the white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff until smooth. Step 5 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  5. Place the pot back on a burner on low heat stirring every once in a while. Step 6 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  6. While the mixture stays warm in the pot, pour small batches of it into individual bowls one at a time. Add food coloring to the batches to make different shades of green. Be sure to only work with one batch at a time and leave the rest in the pot on low heat to stay warm. If you try to do all of the batches of color at once, they will harden before you can layer them and will be less spreadable. Step 8 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  7. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper and top the paper with some spray cooking oil. Step 7 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  8. Pour the first batch of colored mixture into the pan and smooth out with a spoon or spatula. Step 9 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  9. Continue to make batches of different colors one at a time, and layer them on top of each other in the pan. Be sure to spread each color completely over the last, all of the way to the edge of the pan. Step 10 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  10. Once you have completed your layers, top off the fudge with some St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles and gently push them into the fudge if needed. Step 11 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe
  11. Place the fudge in a freezer for about an hour until it has hardened and cooled completely. Step 12 for Leprechaun Fudge Dessert Recipe

    Fudge is one of those magical words which get me salivating instantly.

    Snow heading our way, so I’ll make this short. Have a great Tuesday!

    • Janine says

      February 20, 2018 at 7:19 pm

      I hope the snow wasn’t too bad. My girls are off this week for winter break and we actually had almost spring like weather here today. And more spring like weather tomorrow, too. So we have been lucky so far. Happy Tuesday to you, too!! πŸ™‚

    I don’t remember how Irish I am, but I am a small percentage. And the kids are larger percentage because Cassidy is pretty Irish.
    Actually one of my favorite holidays. I can’t explain it. I love chocolate coins and rainbows and luck. And it’s such a hopeful time of year.

    • Janine says

      February 20, 2018 at 7:22 pm

      Such a hopeful time of the year indeed and seriously with you on just loving this holiday so much!! πŸ™‚

    I can’t believe St Patricks Day is just around the corner. I’m not a huge drinker but I look pretty darn good in Green so that works lol. I believed I had a small percentage of Irish blood in me because of my serious love and addiction to potatoes. What a cute family picture, the girls look adorable in their green. I’ve never made fudge before, so green fudge looks like a great place to start.

    • Janine says

      February 20, 2018 at 7:23 pm

      Mary, I am so with you on loving potatoes and also loving the color greens, too. And hope you can try to make this green fudge soon, too now πŸ™‚

    Janine,

    I too cannot believe March will be here next week. I will be thrilled to see the warmer weather but this year is already flying by so fast. The older I get the faster each month flies by.

    Anyway, I love fudge and this St. Patrick’s day fudge is adorable. I am sure it tastes terrific too.

    Thanks for sharing!
    Diane
