The first holiday of summer will be here in just two short weeks! We'll be celebrating our country's independence and most of us will be enjoying a day off from work and spending lots of time with family and friends.

Red, white, and blue recipe! Get festive this 4th of July with Patriotic Firecracker Dipped Pretzel Rods. This easy dessert has the perfect balance of salty and sweet.

For me no holiday is complete without lots of yummy food. Of course the traditional grilled items but no meal would be complete without dessert. Especially on a holiday. And if it's easy to make too, all the better!

Inspired by the dipped pretzel rods I made that were such a hit as our Easter dessert, I decide to try them again for the 4th of July. If you're looking for an easy dessert to make for your 4th of July party, try these Patriotic Firecracker Dipped Pretzel Rods. They're perfectly portioned with just the right blend of salty and sweet.
