Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

To create the clover shape, mold 3 sections of bread sticks into hearts and press them together as shown. Attach a small stem, decorate (with a sprinkling of colored sugar and cinnamon), bake according to the package directions, and serve. Pin It Now!

Shamrock Toasties

This recipe is from originally from Family Fun and would be a fun snack to serve on March 17th, the Feast of St. Patrick.

Ingredients:

Green Pepper
Cheddar Cheese
English Muffins

To make one, slice a green pepper crosswise near the pointed end to get a small, three-lobed shamrock shape. (If your pepper has four lobes, you've got a lucky clover instead.) Cut a small slice for a stem.

Toast half an English muffin, then top it with a slice of Cheddar and the pepper shamrock. Place the muffin on a tray, then broil it in a toaster oven until the cheese is melted. Pin It Now!
