Celebrate Red White & Blue
Due to many restrictions being lifted throughout the world; how will you celebrate the holiday?
Whether you’re celebrating the upcoming holiday in your own backyard, a friend’s home, at the beach, or on vacation; light up your table with some tasty food.

Celebrate Independence Day by creating a delicious dessert.
For a delicious and easy recipe, use either raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries. Use dark chocolate semi-sweet or unsweetened baking chocolate. Next, combine all fruit in either a cup or glass dish.
For a simple way to melt your chocolate; you can either microwave it for approximately 30 seconds, stir, and if not melted, set for another 30 seconds. Also, you can melt chocolate in a saute pan or a double boiler. Once your chocolate is melted, put this into either the middle of a strawberry, inside a raspberry or blueberry.
Finish off your dessert with a dollop of whipped cream. Yum!
