Saint Patrick’s Day Jar

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! 

For my roommates, I’m making them each a Saint Patrick’s Day Jar (an idea I found on pinterest).

I’m excited for this colorful surprise! And plus, I know it’s going to end up on our kitchen counter…giving our apartment at least some holiday spirit.

What you’ll need:

1. Mason Jars

            -pack of 12 from Shoprite is $10

2. A big bag (or 2) of Skittles or M&Ms

3. Mini Marshmallows

4. Chocolate Gold Coins

Directions:

1. Drop 5 small packs of the gold coins in the bottom of the mason jar

2. Separate Skittles (or M&Ms) by color

3. Gently pour the Skittles, color by color, on top of the gold coins. Start with purple, and     

    end with red on top (remember the order of the colors of the rainbow? – ROYGBIV)

4. Top your Skittles with mini marshmallows. Pack the marshmallows on top to ensure

    the Skittles won't move

And wahla! You just bottled a leprechaun's enchanted rainbow with all of his treasured gold!
