Leprechaun Balls
The second boozy dessert on our list, Leprechaun balls are essentially bite-sized, booze filled, cake pops!

Mint Chocolate Brownies
My absolute favorite flavor combination, mint and chocolate! These Mint Chocolate Brownies take it to the next level. The rich and fudgy brownies are infused with peppermint extract and topped with a layer of chocolate ganache. Sprinkle some green sugar on top for a pop of color.
