Summer is the time for picnics, cookouts, and outdoor parties.  I feel like summer truly begins on Memorial Day and ends with Labor Day which means a lot of the summer events are patriotic events.  In my family we also have a ton of summer birthdays so we try to mix them in with the patriotic holidays and have one celebrate per month.

I’m always looking for new and fun Red, White, and Blue recipes.  While most of them are dessert recipes, I have made a tasty Red, White, and Blue potato salad before so I savory recipe isn’t out of the question.  However, the recipe I’m sharing today is a dessert.

Not only is it a dessert, but it’s a no bake dessert.  Since most patriotic holidays happen in the summertime I think it’s important to have a few no bake desserts in my repertoire so that I don’t have to turn the oven on when it’s really hot outside.  These Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Covered Strawberries are the perfect summer patriotic dessert!

The strawberries are super easy to make.   Since they are already red all you need is to add the white and the blue.  The white comes from either white candy melts or white chocolate.   I used candy melts because it’s what I had in the cupboard but either will work.  The blue simply comes from sprinkles.

I actually didn’t have any blue sprinkles but I had sanding sugar and I used blue food coloring to make it blue.  Then I simply took the strawberries, dipped them in the white chocolate, and covered them in the blue sprinkles.  These looked great, were super easy to make, and they tasted delicious!   Perfect for a summer party.
