]]> St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and even if you’re not Irish, it can still be a great opportunity to engage in some festive baking. After all, what other holidays offer a ready-made excuse to binge on Lucky Charms? (And don’t get us started on the chocolatey goodness that is Baileys Irish Cream.) Here are some of the recipes we’ll be making this year. 

Irish Potato Candy

Don’t let the name fool you—these candies are not really Irish, and don’t contain any potato, but they are delicious, and that’s good enough for us. Brooklyn Farm Girl pays tribute to one of Ireland’s most important crops by shaping a mixture of cream cheese, coconut, and powdered sugar into bite-sized candy “spuds” before rolling them in cinnamon to create the “peel.”

Lucky Charms Frosted Sugar Cookies

Give your sugar cookies a seasonal spin with this recipe by Jenna from Butternut Bakery. Starting with soft and fluffy bakery-style cookies, she adds a rich layer of homemade vanilla buttercream before topping it all off with a handful of Lucky Charms cereal. Nostalgic, festive, and magically delicious.

Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Pudding

Baileys is a cream-based whiskey liquor that has been produced in Ireland since the 1970s. Its sweet, chocolatey flavor makes it a great addition to coffee or other alcoholic cocktails, but for St. Patty’s Day, we love it in this pudding pie by Baker by Nature. Enjoy it on its own, or as dessert after a traditional Irish meal of corned beef and cabbage.

After all, the holidays are a time of togetherness and celebration, and there’s a lot less to look forward to on this side of the calendar. To add a little color to the cold, dark days and show our loved ones how much we care, we like to surprise them with some homemade Valentine’s Day treats. Here are a few we’ll be making this year. 

Raspberry Cream Cheese Heart Tarts

Sweet tarts for your sweet heart. For breakfast, dessert, or just because, this recipe by Weelicious is a fun and simple way to say “I love you” through food—even if you’re someone who can barely boil an egg. Made with store-bought frozen pie dough and just a few other simple ingredients, they’re easy to whip up in just 30 minutes, though you’d never know from the way they taste.

Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cupcakes

Chocolate-covered berries are a Valentine’s Day classic, but this recipe by Sally’s Baking Addiction puts a fun spin on the treat by turning it into fudgy chocolate cupcakes. A strawberry buttercream filling provides a nice tang to balance things out, while a homemade chocolate ganache and fresh strawberries on top tie it all together. 

Pink Hot Chocolate

When it’s cold outside, there’s nothing quite like cozying up on the couch with your other-half over some good-old-fashioned hot chocolate, but on the day of love, we like to prepare this Valentine’s Day version for an extra-romantic touch. Sweet, creamy, and perfectly pink, it comes together in less than 10 minutes with just four ingredients. Serve with plenty of marshmallows and seal with a kiss.

Chill the Dough

It’s crucial to chill the dough after mixing it. The dough needs to be firm or your cookies will lose shape while baking. And that would be a really sad thing, especially if you made some special shapes with molds.

Store in Jars

After you’ve followed all the steps and got your perfect cookies, store them in containers that close well, like jars with lids for up to a week. That is, if they survive that long.

Irish Potato Candy

Don’t let the name fool you—these candies are not really Irish, and don’t contain any potato, but they are delicious, and that’s good enough for us. Brooklyn Farm Girl pays tribute to one of Ireland’s most important crops by shaping a mixture of cream cheese, coconut, and powdered sugar into bite-sized candy “spuds” before rolling them in cinnamon to create the “peel.”
