Happy Fourth of July! I love this holiday and the family traditions that we have on this day. Swimming, bbqing, fireworks and yummy food with family and friends. What are your family traditions on this day?
Oh how grateful I am for the freedoms I have here in America. I am so blessed that I was born here and sometimes I take it for granted. Days like the 4th of July is a great reminder of this.
I was trying to find a fun yummy treat I could make for the 4th. Especially something that the kids would love. I decided to make these fun Rice Krispie patriotic stars. I stuck popsicles sticks in them so the kids could hold them and I tied ribbon to them to make this treat a little more patriotic.
This is a super fun and easy treat to make, great for the kids to help you with. My kids loved help eating it along the way as well. It was also fun to make them aware of why we were dipping them into the colors of red, white, and blue.
