One of the many fun parts about celebrating the Fourth of July is seeing how many foods you can serve that fall into the red, white, and blue color scheme. The main courses and side dishes can be more challenging, but when it comes to desserts, the options are almost endless, thanks to treats like this Red, White, & Blue Bark. These little firecrackers are the perfect sweet-and-salty combo to munch on as you sit and watch the nighttime sky light up with all of the glittery colors. The patriotic hues just make it all the more festive. Celebrate in style with Red, White, & Blue Bark!
