Go Green (and Sweet!) 🍀 Fun Ways to Use Green Candy for St. Patrick’s Day

Hello, Candy Enthusiasts! 

When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, there’s one simple rule:

If it’s green… it belongs on the table.

Whether you're planning a party, putting together classroom treats, or just want to surprise your family with something festive, green candy is the easiest way to turn an ordinary day into a lucky celebration.

Here are fun, creative, and totally doable ways to use green candy this St. Patrick’s Day!

🌈 Create a Rainbow Candy Board

Charcuterie boards aren’t just for cheese anymore.

Build a rainbow candy board with colorful sweets arranged in rainbow order — and let green be the star of the show.

Include:

• Green jelly beans

• Sour green apple gummies

• Green chocolate candies

• Mint treats

• Green licorice

Finish the board with gold chocolate coins at the end of the rainbow for that classic “pot of gold” moment.

It’s perfect for parties, movie nights, or just a festive dessert centerpiece.

🍀 Make “Leprechaun Bait” Snack Bags

Got kids? This one’s a hit.

Fill small clear treat bags with:

• Green candies

• Rainbow pieces

• A few gold coins

Add a cute tag that says:
“Leprechaun Bait – Sprinkle and Wait!”

Kids can leave it out the night before St. Patrick’s Day and wake up to a “visited” house with surprises. It’s simple, affordable, and magical.

🧁 Top Your Desserts with Green Candy

You don’t need complicated recipes to go festive.

Just add green candy to:
