Cute Patriotic Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
We love these super cute patriotic strawberries! These are really easy to make! You just need to get the various colors in Chocolate melting disks (you can find these at Michaels, Jo-Ann’s and even at some Kmart and Walmart Stores.
I prefer the Wilton Candy melts because they make the most consistent chocolate texture. Here are some other pointers:
- Chill your berries for about 30 minutes before dipping (wash and dry; then put in the fridge)
- Warm your chocolate in small glass bowls 30 seconds at a time in the microwave
- Let these cool and harden on cookie sheets lined with wax paper. They will take about an hour to full harden if it is not warm inside your house.
- Work on one “look” at a time. That way you can clean up in between
Check out this festive and easy patriotic dessert! No cooking required!

Memorial Day Treats
It’s Strawberries, blueberries and bananas all on kabob sticks and lined up beautifully to salute the grand ol’ flag!
The berries are the perfect colors for this no-fuss patriotic dessert (marshmallows make perfect white stripes, too). A drizzle of chocolate syrup goes great with these, but either way, kids and grown-ups alike will eat ’em up!
Thanks to Jen for sending us this great fun and frugal idea for the holiday weekend! We love it!

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies
I saw these the other day and they are inexpensive and so good! I used a bag of peanut butter cookie mix which cost me about $1.00 and then some yummy Jif Chocolate Spread. You could use Nutella if you wanted but since Jif makes a plain chocolate spread…we voted for that!
Make your cookies as round as you can so that you get a nice uniform look to them. Make sure the cookies cool totally before you put the spread on. Otherwise it will melt!
No one will be able to keep their hands off them!
