SNACKS
Red, White and Blue Celery Logs

- If you celery is limp, place in a cold water bath in the refrigerator. It will bring the crisp back.
- When ready, spread the cream cheese on top of the celery logs. Use the regular with bacon bits. Spread the strawberry and blueberry on some logs too.

- You can always create your own cream cheese by using regular cream chees and adding strawberries and blueberries to the mixture.

- Wrap the dogs with the dough strips. Depending on the thickness of the dog, you may need to add dough strips.
- Place on a cookie sheet and bake per instructions for the dough.

- Once when mixed well, add the last 2 cups of cereal.
- Place the mixture in a glass bowl coated in cooking spray of choice.
- Use wax paper with cooking spray to pat the mixture into the pan. Then it won't stick to you or the spatula. :)
- Take the sprinkles and decorate to your heart's desire.
- If you want the children to have a fun activity, cut the Crispy Rice Treat Cake into bigger squares and let them decorate with the sprinkles.
- Allow the squares to harden (about 20 minutes). Or you can eat it ooey, gooey!
Red, White and Blue Parfait

- Once you get to the last layer, sprinkle you favorite nuts on top.
- You can highlight it with a marchino cherry or a flag.
- Add some chocolate for bonus! ;)
- If anyone has a nut allergy, leave the nuts out all together.
