With summer rolling around it’s almost time to bring out the fireworks, have the family over, and celebrate the 4th of July. What better way than to make some deserts for everyone with a little patriotic theme?
I’ve cultivated 10 of the best looking 4th of July deserts for everyone this year. Enjoy! -Fluffy
1. Firecracker Cake
A sheet cake decorated in red, white and blue that looks the part on a picnic table. Easier than it looks, which is the best kind of party dessert.
Recipe from Love Bakes Good Cakes.
2. Muddy Buddy Snack Mix
Sweet, crunchy and gone in about ten minutes once the kids find it. Make it the night before and hide the bowl until you need it.
Recipe from Baby Savers.
3. 4th of July Pretzels
Dipped pretzels in patriotic colors, which is about as simple as a holiday treat gets. A good one to let the children help with.
Recipe from Craft Create Cook.
4. Patriotic Berry Pizza
A sugar cookie base with cream cheese frosting and berries laid out on top. It slices like a pizza, so it serves a crowd quickly.
Recipe from Mommy’s Kitchen.
5. 4th of July Berry Cake
Strawberries and blueberries doing the decorating for you, which saves a lot of fiddling with frosting. Fresh and not too heavy after a cookout.
Recipe from The Crafted Sparrow.
6. Easy Patriotic Snack Platter
Less a recipe than a good idea, and sometimes that is exactly what you need. Arrange it on a big board and let people help themselves.
Recipe from Mom Endeavors.
7. Fireworks Blondies
Blondies with colored candy through them so every square looks like it is celebrating. They travel well if you are going to somebody else’s cookout.
Recipe from Crazy for Crust.
8. American Flag Oreos
Dipped and decorated Oreos that take almost no skill and still get compliments. Make a big tray, they go quickly.
Recipe from The Savvy Mama Lifestyle.
9. Red White and Blue Cookie Bars
Cookie bars with the patriotic candy mix baked right in, and far easier than rolling individual cookies. Perfect for feeding a crowd.
Recipe from No. 2 Pencil.
10. 4th of July Fruit and Jello Cups
Layered jello and fruit in individual cups, which means no cutting and no serving spoon. They also sit happily in a cooler until you need them.
Recipe from The First Year.
