Milseáin agus damhsa ~ Candy and Dance!

Happy Tuesday!
Today, we made Potato candies and learned some Irish step dance! There's even a video below of us showing off our great work if you scroll down far enough!
Instead of a long, info-heavy post, we thought we'd skip right to the most interesting part - the photos and candy recipe!

Check them out below!
