4th of July Finds

Hey all, I know it's getting close, but better late than never right.  The Fourth is just a couple days and I thought I would pass along some "safe" treats that I have found.  Over at a pumpkin and a princess they made star shaped mini pies.  I love the idea, but instead of using that crust, I'll just buy the Pillsbury pie crusts that are in the refrigerated section.   

cute right!





I also found a bomb pop recipe that I can really agree with.  All there is to this recipe is fresh fruit and coconut milk.  I haven't decided if I will use coconut milk or vanilla soy yogurt for the white layer yet.  Check out the recipe.  You can find the recipe at family fresh cooking

In the idea room I found a recipe for patriotic candied popcorn.  The best part is you already have the ingredients in the pantry.

Finally, at 5 minutes for mom I found these super cute rice crispy wands.  The only substitution is margarine for butter.  I'm definitely taking these to our 4th party, and I think it's going to be a hit with the kids.  I mean whats better than a portable treat

On last thing.  Did you know that if you dip a marshmallow in water, you can then roll it in sprinkles and they will stick?  I saw someone do that tonight and wondered why I never thought of it.  Oh well, at least I know now.  Hope you all have a great holiday.
