Why You’ll Love This!
This Leprechaun cookie bark is a fun and easy way to create a treat for your St Patrick’s Day celebration. I’m not a huge fan of turning all my food green for St. Patrick’s Day so this is a way to celebrate with out using green food coloring!
It only takes a few minutes to make and it is a perfect treat to share.
Leprechaun Bark Ingredients
Chocolate. I use candy melts but you can also use Almond Bark or white chocolate chips. The candy melts and bark melt more smoothly. If you prefer chocolate bark you could also use dark chocolate chips or chocolate melts. Green candy melts would also be fun.
Cookies. I used chocolate Oreos but you could use a mint Oreo.
Candy. Skittles are rainbow colored which is perfect but you could also use green M & M’s or mint m&Ms. The little rainbow sour candy is a fun addition. You could also use Lucky Charm marshmallows.
Sprinkles. The little Shamrock sprinkles were a fun addition. Rainbow sprinkles would also be fun.
How to Make Leprechaun Bark
- Place broken cookies and pretzels on a parchment lined baking sheet
- Melt the chocolate or candy melts in the microwave.
- Pour melted chocolate over the top.
- Spread the chocolate with a spatula to make sure everything gets covered with chocolate.
- Sprinkle. While the chocolate is warm, sprinkle with rainbow candy and sprinkles. Allow chocolate to set up. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
- After the bark has hardened, use a knife to cut the bark into pieces or break by hand.

I’ve been avoiding buying Girl Scouts but I guess I’ll have to breakdown and buy a box of thin mints so I can try to replicate your bark. That looks fabulous! Pinned it too. Stopping by from Foodtastic Friday. I also host a foodie blog hop and I would love for you to share your Leprechaun Bark at Friday Food Fight.

I’m with you, I normally skip St. Patty’s day too! But oh my… throw Thin Mints into anything and hand it over! Sounds so yummy and so easy!
Thanks for linking up to this week’s Catch a Glimpse Party. I’ll be featuring this tomorrow. 🙂
