St. Patrick's Day Parfaits are a delicious treat that are perfect for celebrating your favorite Irish holiday!  Layers of pudding, lime pound cake, and Lucky Charms.

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day helps get us through the last of the winter blues, before spring comes on, here in Idaho.  Winter lasts a long time, so it's nice to have things to look forward to.

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, we enjoy eating green food like Pesto Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes, Very Green Salad, Shamrock Rice Crispy Treats, and of course these St. Patrick's Day Parfaits.

We also enjoy doing St. Patrick's Day crafts.  Some of our favorites are Recycled Toilet Paper Roll Clovers, Rainbow Heart Clovers, and Fruit Loop Rainbows.

These St. Patrick's Day Parfaits are a fun, cute way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  They aren't hard to make, and the seem like such a special treat for kids.  

I like to get the pound cake and pudding made up ahead of time, so all I have to do is layer them the day of.  I wouldn't recommend putting them together too much ahead of time, since the marshmallows in the Lucky Charms will start to melt a bit.
