This 4th of July, making cute, craveable treats doesn’t require a degree from Pinterest University. Here are a few easier ways to make your holiday sparkle.
But first, a joke.
In all seriousness, please be careful with your celebrations and have a fire extinguisher on hand! (Ellen, I’m talking to YOU here!)
Stock up now on watermelon, strawberries and blueberries because those are featured heavily this holiday!
This one takes a little effort to assemble but you can use store-bought angel food cake to save time and countertop mess. Here’s the recipe.
If “cute food” isn’t in your wheelhouse, I think this is something anyone can arrange on a plate.
What’s more American than apple pie? Probably too much Red 40 and frosting! These cute cupcakes are easier to make than actual pie crust, plus you can pop a few M&Ms while you’re making them.
Charcuterie is all the craze so it’s time to whip out some STARcuterie for the 4th! Again, all you’ve got to do is lay things on a platter for this one and you’ll get a big payoff.
Cookie cutters and candy melts are your best friends when you want to impress a crowd with minimal effort. Sure, copious amounts of sugar negate the health value of strawberries but these dipped delights are so so good.
American flags are just so easy to recreate in board form. This one is on the sweeter side.
Taco dip might seem more Cinco de Mayo than 4th of July but this festive app totally works. Check out the recipe here.
If you don’t have food coloring, you can always go the sprinkles route to get the colors you need. My frosting skills do not extend to fancy star shapes, but hey, they tasted really good!
And we can’t forget something for Fido!
