4th of July Easy Dessert Board Idea

Making a Fourth of July dessert board is one of the easiest ways to bring a festive and red, white, and blue flare to the holiday.

We had a house full and this is a great way to provide something for everyone, even with dietary restrictions. I try to put fruit on every board for those who are trying to stick to a healthier diet.

The Secret Formula for Dessert Boards

People seem amazed when a pretty board is put together. It’s honestly not difficult if you follow a few guidelines. Here are some of the tricks.

1. Pick 3 (or so) colors and only put those colors on the board. This adds cohesiveness and makes it look really beautiful. Varying shades of the colors are fine.
2. Add fun shapes to the board using cookie cutters (stars for the 4th of July, trees for Christmas, etc.)
3. Add a little height or some festive decor – this can be a shape, small risers, or tea towels

OUR 4TH OF JULY BOARD

For our board we used:

• cherries
• blueberries
• raspberries
• white powdered donuts
• Rice Krispie Treats (cut into stars)
• red licorice
• homemade sugar cookies with red, white and blue decorations
• white Lifesavers

This should be fun! Have a good time with it and let your creativity flow.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY FRIENDS!!!
