4 Awesome July 4th Finger Foods

by Angela Conner


July 4th

July 4th is one of our favorite holidays. Food, family, and fun are how we celebrate. Here are four of our  July 4th finger foods that are always a hit with kids and adults alike. They are easy, don’t take a lot of time, and taste amazing.

Table of Contents

  • Red & Blue Watermelon
  • Fruit Kabobs
  • Strawberry Cheesecake Bites: Red, White, & Blue Themed
  • Red, White, & Blue Deviled Eggs

Red & Blue Watermelon

What you will need:

Watermelon (large)

Blueberries (1 pkg)

Cookie Cutter (Star shaped)

Toothpicks

Start by cutting the water in half.  Then slice the halves into about 6 slices so that each slice is round with a ‘ring’ around it.  Use a cookie cutter to cut the inside of the slices into star shapes. (Amount you get will depend on the size cutter used).  Place the stars on a platter. Put a blueberry in the center and place a toothpick through it to hold into place. Set on the table and serve.

Fruit Kabobs

What you will need:

Blueberries

Mini-Marshmallows

Strawberries/Raspberries (your choice)

Skewers

You can do these a few different ways. We did a blueberry, a marshmallow, and a strawberry and repeated it 3x on a few of them. We then did 2 blueberries, 2 marshmallows, 2 raspberries, and 2 strawberries on a few. Then we did 3 blueberries, 3 marshmallows, 3 strawberries/3 blueberries, 3 marshmallows, 3 raspberries on a few.

Strawberry Cheesecake Bites: Red, White, & Blue Themed

What you will need:

Strawberries (about 10-15)

Blueberries (about 30-40)

4 oz package of Cream Cheese (left soften)

¼ cup of Confectioner’s Sugar

¼ tsp of Almond Extract

Place the strawberries in a bowl and set to the side. Mix the cream cheese (make sure it has softened), confectioner’s sugar, and almond extract together in a small mixing bowl until they are combined and smooth. Set it in the fridge and let chill for roughly 10-15 minutes.  Take the strawberries and rinse them off really well. Pat them dry with a paper towel and slice them (in half) lengthwise. Place them on a plate or platter with the cut sides up. Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the strawberries (you can use a piping bag if you choose) and then place 1-2 blueberries on top and serve.

Red, White, & Blue Deviled Eggs

What you will need:

Eggs

Americolor food coloring

**Please note–I am not doing the recipe for deviled eggs.  This is only for getting the boiled eggs red and blue in color**

Boil your eggs like normal.  After you peel them and cut them in half (lengthwise), scoop the yoke out and put it in a bowl to the side.  Mix hot water (1 cup) with red food coloring ( 1 tsp). Add distilled white vinegar (1 tbsp) and stir together. Place the egg halves into the bowl for 1-2 minutes.  Repeat the process with blue food coloring. Place the egg halves on a platter and fill with egg yolk mixture of your choice; serve.

I look forward to July 4th each year because I get to see family and friends. Serving these finger foods just adds to my excitement.  Eating them, well eating them is just a much needed bonus!
