St. Patrick's Day dishes are all about big, bold flavors. From savory recipes like corned beef and cabbage to herbed lamb, and Guinness beef stew to sweet treats like grasshopper brownies, mint chocolate fudge, and layered cake, all featuring green, of course, these recipes pack a big punch of savory or sweet flavor in every bite. That's important because if any holiday goes big, it's St. Patrick's Day!
Why These Recipes Work

Of course, the desserts on this list are all about sweet flavor and classic color. Treats like mint chocolate fudge, green cookies, and pistachio fluff all explode with sweet flavors and a blast of green color.
