Fun Fourth of July Treats
Chocolate Haystack Fireworks Chocolate Coconut Haystacks are dressed up in colorful sprinkles in this 4th of July candy recipe. Try using different types of sprinkles and colored sugars to add color and variety to the candies.
1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. 2. Place the coconut in a pie tin or small baking pan, and toast it in the oven until golden brown. The secret to good toasted coconut is consistent browning, so be sure to stir it every 2 minutes until it is an even, light golden color. It will probably take 8-10 minutes, but monitor your coconut carefully. 3. While the coconut is toasting, place the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it until it is melted, stirring every 45 seconds. 4. Once coconut is toasted and chocolate is melted, stir the coconut into the chocolate, mixing until coconut is entirely coated with chocolate. 5. Using a small teaspoon, drop small spoonfuls of the candy onto the prepared sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, scatter the sprinkles evenly on top of the candies. 6. Once all candy has been formed, refrigerate for 30 minutes, until the chocolate is set. 
Flag Fudge This tri-colored vanilla fudge is prepared in three stages. It’s extremely simple to make, but requires a few hours of chilling time total, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to make this recipe.
1. Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Place 4 ounces (about 2/3 cup) white chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tbsp cream. Microwave until melted, about 1-1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. 3. Stir until the cream and chocolate form a smooth paste. If it looks curdled at first, continue to stir until it comes together. Once the chocolate is smooth, add approximately 1/3 of the frosting and a few drops of red food coloring. Stir to combine, and adjust the coloring amount until you get a red you are satisfied with. 4. Pour the red fudge into the prepared pan and refrigerate until mostly set, 45 minutes-1 hour. The fudge does not have to be rock hard, but should be set enough so that it doesn’t move when the pan is tilted. 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3, omitting the food coloring. Pour the white-colored fudge over the red fudge and return to the refrigerator to allow the new layer to set. 6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 once more, this time adding a few drops of blue food coloring. Pour the blue fudge over the white layer and return to the refrigerator once more. Allow to set fully, about 2 hours. 7. To serve, cut into 1-inch squares. Be sure to use a large knife with a smooth blade, and wipe the blade frequently to ensure that the sides of the fudge squares do not get smeared with other colors. Stored in an airtight refrigerated container this fudge will last for up to a week. Courtesy of About.com: Candy
Patriotic Cupcakes Democratic decorating: everyone gets to help! Fly your colors—and your flavors—with these spirited cupcakes.
1. Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions. 2. Line the muffin pan with cupcake liners. 3. Divide the batter among the cups. 4. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 25 minutes. 5. Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating. 6. To decorate, frost each cupcake. Arrange the M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies in stripes, stars, or create your own designs.
