The Best Green, Gold & Rainbow Foods to Eat on St. Patrick's Day

These minty treats from The Chew's Clinton Kelly are the perfect size so you can hold a sandwich in one hand, and Guinness in the other. Get the recipe HERE.

The only thing we love more than red velvet? Green velvet for St. Patrick's Day. Especially when it's sandwiched between cheesecake layers, then topped with Irish cream chocolate ganache and whipped cream.

These chocolate s'mores are almost too easy: Simply cover a cookie in chocolate (the trick: smooth the top with a toothpick for that even surface) and attach chocolate-covered marshmallows to make the hat shape.

That pot of gold you're looking at is actually a doughnut hole that's been dipped in dark chocolate. The gold? Yellow MampMs. The confections look impressive, yet are totally doable.

These delicate looking sweets pack a powerful punch, with a jolting combo of espresso powder, Irish cream and bittersweet chocolate.

The best part of Lucky Charms is obviously the marshmallows, which are also the star of this creamy, minty martini. To get the 'mallows to neatly stick to the glass, coat the rim with a thin layer of honey. Magic!

Confession: We were intimidated when we first looked at these technicolored treats – along with food coloring, they only required four basic ingredients (you've probably got them in your pantry) and can be prepped and baked in about 20 minutes.

If you're looking for a healthy-but-tasty alternative to Guinness or whiskey, sip on this pie-inspired green smoothie – complete with meringue topping and crumbled graham crackers.

The minty cocktail gets a decadent makeover with this bright-green, adults-only fudge recipe. The secret ingredient? Crème de menthe.

Arrange an assortment of colorful fruit to represent one of St. Patrick's Day's most beloved symbols, with marshmallows as the cloud and Rolo caramels as the coveted pot of gold.

We're well aware that pancakes are the breakfast of champions – but green food dye and a handful of mini marshmallows make them a lucky breakfast, too.

It's easy to create these clover-shaped treats: Use a lift-and-serve pan to make individual heart-shaped cheesecake bites, then assemble four together in a shamrock shape and add a drizzle of chocolate for the stem.

These bites may not be the easiest things to create – the cake balls are covered meticulously in melted white chocolate dyed peach, orange and other colors – but they're certainly one of the cutest.

"I made these with my mom as a little girl and thought it would be fun to carry on the tradition. My mom always went all out for Saint Patrick's Day. Everything was magically GREEN!" writes I Heart Naptime blogger Jamielyn Nye of these bright marshmallow snacks.

One of the best things about this idea? If you're decorating with kids, even younger ones will be able to make their own treats with minimal help, so you can kick back and enjoy a well-deserved cocktail.

Not a fan of green beer? Have some bubbles! To give an ordinary glass of champagne some Irish spirit, spike it with a generous splash of Midori. Plus, a honeydew shamrock garnish adds a festive touch while echoing the drink's melon flavor.
