With the 4th right around the corner, I’m heading to the kitchen to create some of these fun patriotic desserts. Easy is key! This roundup of easy red white and blue desserts will make you the talk of your socially distanced gathering this weekend! Check them out and let me know which your favorite is! We will be attempting three of them!
BONUS : Charcuterie Boards
Why am I starting with the bonus?! I don’t know… but you all know I love making a fun charcuterie board. Remember my Valentine’s Day one?! Well, mine are typically more sweets than savory, but I’ll work on that! You’ll need chocolates, candies, fruits, cheeses, crackers, and honestly whatever you’d like! For this one we cut cheese into stars and added sprinkles for a little bit more blue fun.
Kid-Friendly Patriotic Desserts
1. No Bake Flag Cake
Anything that starts with no-bake usually has me at hello! I love that this one uses all things you can just buy and put together!
2. Fourth of July Magic Cookie Bars
We made these a couple years ago for a party and not only were they a hit, the girls loved making them and sneaking candy while we did it!
