My first name is obviously of Irish origin, although my heritage is German. On a day like today, however, it gives me all the reason I need to celebrate. I’m not that much into corned beef and cabbage, but I have a hard time resisting a treat that is both sweet and crunchy. That’s one of the reasons I decided to try this Blarney Stone recipe, with its smooth frosting and crunchy peanut topping.
This recipe is also a great way to celebrate March as National Peanut Month. Midwesterners are more familiar with the months that celebrate pork, beef, dairy and eggs. Although we don’t grow peanuts here, I’m challenging you to celebrate National Peanut Month. After all, this German is celebrating St. Patty’s Day! 
St. Patty’s Day comes with lots of fun traditions. If you’re interested in learning more about the tradition of wearing green on St. Patty’s day, watch this short film from the History channel.
