Patriotic Candy Skewers for Fourth of July
Candy…kids love it…adults love it…candy puts a smile on everyone’s face! So what better treat to serve at your Fourth of July Celebration, take to the Parade or maybe even pack a picnic for beach…Patriotic Candy Skewers! But these are not your ordinary candy skewers, these are kicked up a little for Fourth of July with fun toppers on them.
The kiddos will have a blast helping you create them too! The candy possibilities are endless, but here is what I used…
Patriotic Candy Skewers Supplies
- Red and Blue Gummies – rings, raspberries and flowers
- Xtreme Air Heads – blue raspberry
- Star shaped marshmallows
- Wooden skewers
Toppers
- Wired flag garland
- Pinwheels – I used scrapbook paper and cut them 2 1/2 and 3 inches square, and used my instructions on how to make a pinwheel
Are you hungry yet?
Oh after the Candy Skewers are all done, you will need to serve them. I used a trifle dish wrapped with ribbon and filled with floral foam. On top of the foam, I added a couple layers of plastic wrap and then poured in red and blue M&M’s.
Celebrate 4th of July on Hoosier Homemade!

Omg they look so goo but the problem is that i dont kno where i can buy the supplies an need to buy them by friday. Please help me!
Hi Melody- we bought our candy at a candy shop near us. Try Googling some near you!
I just love these!
Sadly, I ran out to buy the candy and I couldn’t find anything similar! I went to all the major stores and there just wasn’t anything in the red/white/blue category.
Thanks for sharing.
Ahhhhhhh I want to make a bunch of these for the kidlets!!
These are awesome! So creative! I’d love to invite you to share this with my readers on Saturday Show & Tell on Cheerios and Lattes, I know they will love them as well! Have a great weekend!
