Show Your Patriotism this Fourth of July with Chocolate!

Fourth of July is almost here and if you’re planning on inviting friends over for a Bar-B-Que or have been invited to a party, don’t forget to show your patriotism with some holiday inspired treats!  Hot dogs and hamburgers, pool parties and fireworks are the staples of celebrating our nation’s independence.  But while you are preparing for one of the best-loved days of the year, make sure you pick up your patriotic-inspired dessert or hostess gifts.  Here are some great homemade chocolate treats that are as patriotic as the day we are celebrating!

Chocolate flag lollipops – these make a great patriotic treat on the Fourth of July that are easy to transport (if you are bringing them with you) and make a great dessert or party favor.  Kids and adults love these chocolate lollipops, so make sure you pick up plenty for everyone!

Chocolate Patriotic Pretzel Rods – we already know that everyone loves chocolate dipped pretzels, but when you use pretzel rods, dipped in homemade chocolate and sprinkle them with red, white and blue sprinkles with a twizzle of white chocolate, then you’ve got one of our best-loved treats that look amazing when you serve them and carry through the patriotic theme of your Fourth of July!

Chocolate Hat lollipops – much like our chocolate flag lollipops, these are a take-off on Uncle Sam’s hat.  These can be made from dark or milk chocolate and are decorated with red, white and blue sprinkles on the brim.  Even Uncle Sam wants our chocolate hat lollipops!

Basket of Pretzels – if you have an army to feed at your Fourth of July party, or would like to bring enough for the entire class, then this is a great way to become the hero of the party!  A basket filled with our homemade, hand-dipped chocolate pretzels feature a variety of flavors and toppings, so there’s always something for everyone.
