Our American Flag Treats on a Stick are the perfect addition to a 4th of July BBQ!

If you're like me, your 4th of July is always crazy busy. We live by several small towns where the 4th of July is a big celebration. There's 3 parades that we like to attend because each one is so uniquely different, outdoor art fairs, family get togethers, and of course a large firework display to end the evening. All while dressed in red, white, and blue and with glow sticks.

A few hours before the fireworks start, our whole family gets together and sets up a large table and we all gather for dinner. Last year I made this awesome festive trifle but this year I cannot wait to make these American Flag Treats on a Stick, all by using a Twinkie as a base. Now while the adults might not be in the mood for a candy coated Twinkie, I know the kids will love them. I mean who doesn't love a Twinkie.

How to make our American Flag Treats on a Stick:

Ingredients:

• Twinkies
• Red, White, and Blue Wilton Candy Melts
• White Sugar Pearls
• Lollipop Sticks
• Parchment Paper

Directions:

1. Melt your bag of white candy melts in a small microwave safe bowl on 50% power for 3-4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
2. Dunk your Twinkie into the melted chocolate, cover completely, remove with a fork or spatula and set onto a piece of parchment paper.
3. Place a lollipop stick into the bottom of your white chocolate covered Twinkie.
4. In 2 separate microwave safe bowls, melt 1 cup each of your red and blue candy melts on 50% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and pour them into decorating bags.
5. Cut a small tip off the decorating bags and use your red bag to draw lines onto the bottom ¾ of your Twinkies and your blue bag to draw a blue corner onto the top left of your twinkle. Then finish the top right corner off with a few more red stripes.
6. Sprinkle white sugar pearls on the blue candy melts to create stars.
7. Let your American Flag Twinkies set for about 30 minutes to completely harden, serve, and enjoy!
