St. Patrick’s Day is just a couple weeks away, and we have some fantastic treats for the little leprechauns in your life! If you’re planning a St. Patrick’s Day party or candy buffet, consider including some gorgeous green candy. These sweets are as tasty as they are pretty, and they’ll lend a festive air to just about any get-together.

Leprechan’s Delight (otherwise known as kelly green chocolate covered sunflower seeds) is just perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. One of our favorite uses for this lovely treat (besides eating it by the handful) is using it to top cupcakes or ice cream sundaes, along with some green sprinkles. Leprechan’s Delight also makes a wonderful substitute for chocolate chips in your favorite cookie recipe. Give it a whirl!

If you’re making goodie bags, you may also want to incorporate some of our other varieties of fabulously green candy. We love green treats like gummy frogs, dark green M&M’s, green apple gummy bears, Jelly Belly watermelon and green apple licorice twists. If you’re feeling nostalgic, you may want to check out classic sweets such as sour apple fruit slices, lime candy sticks and green rock candy sticks. You can see our full selection of green candy in the candy by color section of Nuts.com.

What are some of your favorite green goodies for St. Patrick’s Day?
