Firecracker Strawberry Pops are a fun and festive dessert perfect for a 4th of July BBQ, patriotic Memorial Day celebration, or laid back Labor Day. These no bake red, white, and blue treats are easy to make, adorable, and tasty as can be.
Summer is just around the corner! We are getting ready for summer by sharing all of our favorite summer recipes from homemade ice pops, to yummy pasta salads, to patriotic desserts like these firecracker strawberry pops.
I love how quick and easy these strawberry pops are to make. Simply heat up your Candy Melts, dip, and you are good to go. No oven necessary, which I am always thankful for in the summer. Using the oven always seems to make our entire kitchen turn into a sauna, so I like to avoid that whenever possible.
If you want to kick these treats up a notch, you can use blue Pop Rocks in place of the blue sanding sugar. You will feel like you have fireworks going off in your mouth!
