Ingredients

• 16 oz M&Ms, Skittles, or similar candy
• 12 gold foil-covered Rolos
• 12 candy tubes or narrow jars (mine were 5.5 x 1)

Directions

• Preparation Separate the candy by colors into individual bowls. I recommend using 5-6 colors for the best results. You can use M&Ms, Skittles, or a mix of the two.Place a gold foil-covered Rolo in the bottom of a tube. Add a big pinch of one color of candies (for my tubes, this was about 6 candies) on top of the Rolo. Continue layering the colors, trying to make the layers about the same size, until you reach the top of the tube. Fasten with the lid, and attach a tag.Click Here to View All St. Patrick's Day Candy Recipes!
