My wife does a wonderful spinach dip for chips. Add some green food coloring to make it more "St. Patrick's Day-ish"
Here is a recipe: Creamy Parmesan Spinach Dip | Skinnytaste
You can put it in a hollowed out chunk of pumpernickle bread - for presentation.
And green jello shots always go over well for St. Patrick's day too! ;)

Thanks for the reminder! That's my son's NY contribution to parties, but he uses the Hawaiian bread that comes in a round loaf and hollows that out. Spinach = green = St. Pat's Day = I don't have to wait until NYE to eat it again. Now I'm drooling...

Maybe you could do deviled eggs, and dye the filling green? (I add mayo, salt, dill, a little bit of yellow mustard, and a great big dollop of horseradish... yum!) If you added a bit of minced ham to the filling, it could be Green Eggs and Ham ;)...

Hmmmm, now there's an idea. I should have thought of that for snacktime when I taught preschool!

What about a fruit salad Ambrosia type thing, but with all green fruit? Grapes, kiwi, chunks of green apple, pears, honeydew melon, etc... (don't know how available those are where you live.. )

My dentist loves these --
CREME DE MENTHE BARS
10 oz. (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, divided
1/2 c. cocoa
3 1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar, divided
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c. crème de menthe
1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a saucepan, combine 4 ounces (1 stick) of the butter and the cocoa. Heat and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and add 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar, egg and vanilla. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs. Press into an ungreased 13x9-inch pan.
Melt 4 ounces of the butter with the crème de menthe. With a mixer, whip in the remaining 3 cups of powdered sugar until smooth. Spread evenly over the graham cracker crust. Chill for 1 hour.
In a saucepan, melt the remaining 2 ounces of the butter and the chocolate chips. Spread over the other layers. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Allow to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into squares. Makes 24.
