This homemade St Patrick’s Day Gum Drops Recipe is so fun and perfect for the holiday. Having fun sweets for our candy dish for holidays is always a must. We made Valentine’s Day Gum Drops a few weeks back, they were so popular. I think I enjoyed them more than the kiddos. Plus I found that they get even better after a few days, ha ha! So, time to hide myself a private stash.
