Did you know that it’s good luck to eat a big breakfast the morning of St. Patrick’s Day? Each year I make St. Paddy’s Day breakfast the luckiest by surprising my son with a magical pancake breakfast using his favorite anytime cereal. Time and again he’s overjoyed with his Pot of Gold pancake breakfast— I think your kids will like it too, so I’m sharing the how-to with you.

To get started, you’ll need: Bisquick® Heart Smart, Lucky Charms®, yogurt, chocolate hazelnut spread, eggs and milk.

Next is a task you can delegate to your little helpers – sorting out the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms cereal. Just make sure more marshmallows go into the bowl than in their mouths.

Mix a batch of this classic Bisquick® recipe, then pour a pancake, approximately 5 inches round, onto a heated griddle. Using a teaspoon, add two tiny dots of batter at the bottom of your pancake for cauldron feet and a small line of batter at the top to create a rim.

Once your pancake is cooked, cover the rim of the cauldron with a thin layer of chocolate hazelnut spread.

Gently drag a fork through the chocolate hazelnut spread to create a linear texture.
