1

In a stand mixer, beat together the yogurt, pudding mix, and Irish Cream until whippy.
2

Add approximately 6 ounces of the whipped topping (you just need to save about 1 cup of the whipped topping to finish off the tops of your dirt cakes) and beat until the mixture is smooth.
3

In a small bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second bursts, until melted.
4

With your electric mixer turned on, slowly pour the melted chocolate chips into your creamy mixture until well-beaten. Tint with green food coloring, if desired.
5

Spoon several tablespoons of the mixture into mini trifle cups, top with Lucky Charms™, more of the Irish Cream mixture, a thin layer of whipped topping, then sprinkle with Lucky Charms™ to finish it all off. Serve immediately for best results! Enjoy!
