Looking for a quick way to make a special holiday treat? These easy St. Patrick’s Day brownies are the answer!

If your kids love to get in the kitchen with you, any holiday is a great reason to start baking! If you’re looking for something that the kids can really get involved with, check out how we make our simple St. Patrick’s Day brownies in our house!

St. Patrick’s Day Brownies

We will use pretty much any excuse to make brownies in our house. Carrigan loves them and even knows exactly how to make them! Once she’s old enough to use the oven on her own, she’s going to be making brownies all the time!

One of our favorite excuses for making brownies is Game Day. My kids loved learning how to make football brownies and want to make them every weekend during football season!

With a few basic ingredients and some candy, you can really turn your basic box mix brownies into something cute for almost any occasion!

How to Make Easy Mint Brownies with Shamrocks

1. Heat the oven to 350F and spray a 9×12 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil. Stir until well mixed.
3. Spread brownie mix into the pan and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
4. Allow brownies to cool completely.
5. Then cut into squares or rectangles. This preference is entirely up to you. You just want to have enough space to decorate each brownie!
6. Use the cookie frosting to “glue” three pieces of candy in a triangle shape. If your brownies are large, you might be able to make four leaf clovers instead of three leaves!
7. Then use the frosting to draw a stem on your shamrock.

Then enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day brownies with a big glass of milk! (That’s our favorite pairing when it comes to brownies!)
