Recipes :: Quick & Simple July Fourth Treats

 

A Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwich:

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays because we can just sit back and enjoy each other with no pressure of gift-giving (yes, this can be a little stressful don’t you think?).  We usually spend the day at the pool and eat bits and pieces all day long.  You know how it is!  This year I want to make a couple patriotic treats to bring to the pool and these are some simple but delicious treats that just about anyone can make.  Like I said, July 4th is a no-pressure holiday so let’s not stress too much about the food!  Enjoy yourselves!

These look great and are super easy to make! Found on Disney – they are a ton of great party ideas too!
