Fun snacks and drinks for Fourth Of July!

June 25, 2024

Patriotic Fruit Kabobs:

You'll need skewers, star cookie cutter, blueberries, and watermelon.

  1. Use the cookie cutter to cut stars out of the watermelon
  2. alternate the watermelon and the blueberries on the skewer until you think it is full

*If you don't have skewers, serve it in a bowl*

**you can add white marshmallows too**



Single Serving Sherbert Punch:

You'll need blue Hawiian Punch, red Hawiian Punch, Sprite, Red, White, and Blue Sherbert, and red solo cups.

  1. Depending on what flavor of punch your guest wants, put 1 cup of punch, 1 cup of Sprite, and two scoops of Sherbert into the cup.

And that's it!

*You can use whatever cup you like; red solo cups seem to hold up the best for me*

**If they want both punches, do 1/2 cup of each*



Red, White, and Blue Fun Fetti Dip:

You will need: 

  • 1 tub of cool whip
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • 1 box of white cake mix
  • 1 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt
  • 1/3 cup of red, white, and blue sprinkles (plus more to put on top)
  1. mix everything together
  2. add extra sprinkles on top
  3. use any kind of graham crackers to dip (my favorites are vanilla wafers or chocolate graham crackers)
