Gold

For St Patrick's Day we made gold for the leprechauns

And for us!

It is so easy to make. You only need Ritz bits, butterscotch chips, and waxed or parchment paper.

pour the butterscotch chips into a microwave safe bowl and melt them according to the directions on the bag. If you don't follow the directions the chips can overcook and then they are all clumpy and won't work. The chips will maintain their shape even if they are melted so you need to stir them.

Once it is stirred then you add your Ritz bits. We used the peanut butter ones because I like them better then the others. Stir the Ritz so that they are covered in the melted butterscotch then take them out of the bowl and set them on parchment paper or waxed paper so they can dry.

My girls loved helping with this. It was so much fun to get messy and make a treat at the same time.

And if some only make it to mouths, well that is what tends to happen around my house.

We made this the day before St Patrick's Day so that on the day the leprechauns could come and steal the gold. Then we had to follow the clues on a treasure hunt to find it
