No one wants to spend an entire afternoon in the kitchen, so why not try one of these delicious and time-saving Red, White and Blue Desserts for the Fourth of July! 

Peanut Butter Flag Dip -  A little salty, a little sweet and a whole lot of YUM! This peanut butter dip is great to take on the road or as your "dish to pass". If you happen to have a big sweet tooth this weekend, animal crackers and cookies are also good dipping options. 

Red, White and Blueberry Trifle -  This dessert is a great guilt-free option! Alter this recipe to your tastebuds by substituting or adding other fruits. If you want to make it super easy on yourself, use a store bought Angel Food Cake rather than baking your own!

Firecracker Cookies -   These cookies are actually made from a cake batter mix. Firecracker Cookies are soft, sweet and taste like a cross between a wedding cake and sugar cookies. Need we say more?

Stars and Stripes Rice Krispie Treats - Rice Krispie Treats are always a great dish to bring to a BBQ or summer party. Not only can you make them super festive, but they are always a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
