Patriotic Snacks Recipe

Ingredients:
1 box Little Debbie White Fancy Cakes
1 bag Wilton red candy melts
1 bag Wilton blue candy melts
White confetti sprinkles

Unwrap your white fancy cakes and place them on a piece of parchment paper. In two small, separate microwave safe bowls, melt one cup of each red and blue candy melts in the microwave on 50% power for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

Carefully pour your melted candy melts into two separate decorating bags. Cut a very small tip off the end of the bags.

Use your blue melted candy to draw a square onto the top left corner of each cake. 

Draw red wavy lines with the other piping bag across the snack cake. You should be able to fit four or five.

Next, fill in the blue square with more blue melted chocolate from your piping bag. 

Place a popsicle stick in the bottom left corner of each cake and they are ready to go!
