4th of July Fun: Patriotic Brownies

I love (LOVE!) the 4th of July, and I love (LOVE!) fun holiday related activities that I can do with my kiddos.
 
But what I love most of all are when said activities are both easy and delicious!
 
These fun 4th of July Patriotic Brownies are perfect because they are super easy and the real fun is in the adding of the fun red, white and blue toppings.
 

Patriotic brownies are the perfect 4th of July dessert and the kids will LOVE helping you make them!

 
This is actually the kind of dessert that could also be an activity that you work on while the kids are anxiously awaiting the evening fireworks!
Warning: the toppings are dangerously easy to binge on 🙂
