I excel at making red, white, and blue desserts – it’s actually one of my favorite things. I’ve loved the color combination my entire life and I love adding sprinkles to anything, so it fits.
No matter what you’re making or where you’re going for the Fourth of July, you need dessert. Treats are required on holidays! I have everything you might like, from cookies to bars, cake to no-bake desserts.
These are my absolute favorites on the site – you MUST try at least one (or five) of them!
Fireworks Pudding Cookies – these were my first viral 4th of July recipe. Soft and chewy pudding cookies filled with sprinkles and patriotic M&Ms – they always disappear first.
Fireworks Sugar Cookie Cake – my second viral red, white, and blue recipe! I mean, it’s a sugar cookie cake with sprinkles, M&Ms, and frosting – you can’t go wrong.
4th of July Rice Krispie Treats – I am OBSESSED with Rice Krispie treats (can you tell? I have a zillion recipes) and adding the sprinkles and candy just make them so good. Plus it’s easier than making those layered and dyed ones.
Spiral Cookies – I first made these when Jordan was a baby – way before blogging – and I’ve been making them every single year since. I can eat the ENTIRE BATCH by myself!
Fireworks Bundt Cake – This 4th of July cake is an easy cake mix recipe that I swirled with red and blue. It’s so easy and delicious. For some reason, it’s not the 4th without cake!
4th of July Chocolate Chip Cookies – my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe (made millions of times by millions of people) turned into patriotic cookies!

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
M&M Cookies for the Fourth – like those M&M Sugar Cookies at the mall…but better.
No Bake Berry Trifle – Layers of a soft surprise ingredient that’s no bake, mixed with berries and whipped cream. The perfect dessert to just eat with a fork straight from the trifle dish.
Fireworks Sugar Cookie Bars – need I say more? Sugar Cookie Bars are soft with fluffy frosting, and I made them one better with sprinkles!
Fourth of July Funfetti Cupcakes – portable cakes with sprinkles, from scratch, no cake mix here!
Fireworks Cake – because you can never coat a cake with too many sprinkles…or have too many flavors in cake. This one has funfetti cake, red velvet cake, buttercream AND cream cheese frosting.
Fireworks Blondies – my best blondie recipe made with…you guessed it: Sprinkles and M&Ms!
All of my 4th of July recipes are absolutely delicious – which one will you make first?
