Pot o’ Gold Marshmallow Pops

Did you know that today is National Cereal Day?!

Yup, sure is!

Seeing that I have four children, you can bet that cereal is a big thing in our house. We love it here. So when the good guys at General Mills sent me some cereal and a few fun things to celebrate the big day, I was excited.

I’ve had this idea for these Pot o’ Gold Marshmallow Pops brewing in my head for a few months.

Last Christmas I was watching a tv special on the Food Network about some chef’s favorite things to prepare for the holidays. This one chef (his name escapes me right now), shared the most simple thing ever. Chocolate covered Cheerios.

He raved about how awesome, and addictive they were, so I knew I had to make them.

Insert some yellow chocolate melts and a big box of Cheerios…

Hello Leprechaun Gold!

So simple and easy, right?! And seriously- it’s SOO addictive.

It’s the perfect way to celebrate don’t you think? Well, that and a big bowl of Lucky Charms! 😉

Plop a little bit of gold on top of a black chocolate coated marshmallow on a stick and you have yourself a festive treat that kids and leprechauns alike will go nuts for.

Mmm… I love a chocolate coated marshmallow!
