With Father’s Day being over, I can now proceed to 4th of July. For me as a blogger, the 4th of July is usually an odd one out since it takes place in the summer while other major holidays fall around during the fall, winter, and early spring. As far as Americans are concerned, the 4th of July is denotes the day in 1776 when the United States (then 13 colonies) officially severed ties with Great Britain during the American Revolution. However, the Brits might beg to differ on this account since the US was still a British possession as far as they’re concerned. Anyway, last year I did a treat post on 4th of July along with a series of Declaration of Independence signers and it was a measurable success. So I decided to do another one for the occasion mostly because the treat posts tend to be so popular for other holidays, too. Thus, expect a lot of treats to be in the red, white, and blue because they are the colors of the American flag. I’ll also have other ones coming up which are related to crafts and so forth. So we hold ourselves to be self-evident that all men are created equal and I want you to enjoy these patriotic 4th of July treats for your star spangled reading pleasure.
- There’s no better way for a cake lover to show patriotic pride than with a mini cupcake American flag.

I’m not a fan of gumdrops. But since these are red, white, and blue stars, they go on this post.
3. Any American kid will certainly love these edible firework treats.
Includes Rice Krispie treats with marshmallows on them. Well, marshmallows with red icing on them anyway.

Includes a flag, a flag star, hotdog, hamburger, fireworks, and Uncle Sam. In all, it’s an all-American dessert platter.
8. For sweet treats on the 4th, these lollipops got you covered.
I thought these were popsicles at first. But then I realize they were probably lollipops for cocktails and such.
9. There’s no better way to celebrate the 4th of July than with these star spangled cake pops.
Always have to have some cake pops on these posts. Yet, at least one in this set is of an American flag.

The bowl contains red, white, and blue in it and so do some of the treats. Also has red, white, and blue Rice Krispie stars.

This set is red, white, and blue with stars on them. What more can you want. Stars may not be edible though.

24. A trifle like this has the best star spangled banner display on top.
And it doesn’t hurt that the flag is made from strawberries and blue berries. I’m sure that helps tremendously. Another one I wanted to add last year but couldn’t.

And it seems like it came straight from a recipe book or magazine. Remember that the berries go on top by the way.
39. For a more patriotic chocolaty taste, go with these star brownies.
These have a white drizzle with red, white, and blue drizzle. Also look quite delicious, at least to me.

Wanted to put this one on last year’s 4th of July treat post, too. But I do like the stripes and stars on this.
