Ingredients

Instructions

  • Grab a large tray. Place dip and small star dish filled with M&Ms on the tray.
  • Lay out each type of cookie then fill in remaining space all the other items.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

• Let’s talk about these cookies for a second, I have linked M&M’s and sprinkles but if you are making these closer to the 4th of July go ahead and look in the holiday section or candy section. I guarantee you will be able to find them for a lot cheaper.
• Also, if you are anything like me, I usually will purchase a large bag of M&M’s and then sort out all the colors so then if I am needing a certain color, I can just have that on hand. • If you are wanting to save yourself some time on the day of the party or get together you can easily make these cookies at least 2-3 days beforehand.
• Here is a fun little tip for you- purchase plain mini cupcakes and customize them by adding sprinkles of your choice. This can save you money from having someone else make them and yourself time in the kitchen.
• Add all your favorite holiday-colored fruit and candy to the board of your choice. That is what's so great about the boards you can customize them to your guest.
• It’s always nice to add a dip to a board- this is a simple dip that I usually will make for each board- you take 1 block of cream cheese and ¼ cup of raspberry jam, that’s it! Give it a try- I promise it's delish!
