Friday Five: Easy, Kid-Friendly Memorial Day Snacks

Happy Friday, y’all!! Who is excited for the 3-day weekend??  This girl is, I can tell you that! 

For this Friday Five, I wanted to share a few (or five) easy, kid-friendly Memorial Day snacks.  Get your red, white, and blue sprinkles ready and head to the kitchen!!

Kid-Friendly Memorial Day Snacks

Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwich

Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwich

Let’s start with the easiest Memorial Day snack first.  These patriotic ice cream sandwiches couldn’t be more simple.  I stuck a popsicle stick in them to make them a little easier to handle, plus I don’t like how the cookie part sticks to your fingers when you are eating it.    Next, pour some red, white, and blue sprinkles onto a plate and dip your sandwich into the sprinkles. 

Simple, patriotic, and delicious!

Another perfectly patriotic Memorial Day snack includes these M&M sugar cookies from Crazy For Crust!  What I love most about these is how versatile they are.  Switch up the M&M colors and you can make these for just about any holiday or celebration.  Also, who doesn’t like a good sugar cookie?
