I needed some easy and delicious ideas to take the pressure off and that’s exactly what I’ve found. We might even bring some of the leftover desserts with us, because, yum!
Even if you don’t have an epic trip coming right after the 4th, there’s still no reason not to make is easier, right? Pick one or all of these treats to sweeten up your holiday celebration quickly and easily.
If you want a truly epic dessert that comes without the guilt, then this amazing watermelon layer cake is for you! Not only is it delicious, it’s so beautiful that it totally counts as party decor in my book.

You can also take box cake mix and elevate it into something awesome like these swirl cookies. If you want to add a little something extra, turn them into ice cream sandwiches that you can cool down with on the 4th.
Not all treats need to be coma-inducing sugary confections. This super fun and simple trail mix recipe is great for the 4th and also a fantastic snack to give the kiddos. It’s also crazy easy to customize and she has some tips for you to do that on the recipe too!
