One of my favorite celebrations is 4th of July and today I wanted to share with you a fast & easy 4th of July fruit dessert platter you or your kids can make into a flag to celebrate the holiday.
This is an easy and festive 4th dish and I have to say that this delivers on the red, white, & blue.
Since I am gluten-free, I often have to bypass the dessert trays.
As an adult, it is not a big a deal.
As a child, the dessert table is EVERYTHING, especially when it comes to holiday feasting.
I wanted to create this cute tray just for them and I found these glutino gluten-free yogurt covered pretzels are not only a fantastic way to add the white we needed for our stripes, but they also are highly addictive and delicious.
You can certainly make your own white chocolate covered pretzels, if you are feeling ambitious, but these cut down on the time invested in creating our cute tray!
Flag cupcake picks can be a great way to festively pick up a berry (or ten).
I found these at a local party supplies store and they are an adorable touch to a festive spread.
I think the best part about this tray is that it is not only relatively healthy, but it is also a tray that you can confidently create and know it will get eaten.
After a big cookout, light desserts are a wonderful addition to the table for snacking on.
Have too many desserts on your table?
Save this to serve up during the fireworks.
It will be gone before it even gets dark enough to see them!
Check out the instructions below on how many supplies you need to put this tray together!
