With fun gatherings filling up each square in the family’s calendar, the last thing we want to do is spend precious time in the kitchen. However, your own personal flavor and pizzaz should not be sacrificed.
This year, our table of 4th of July Desserts will be ever so colorful and yummy with these super easy pudding parfaits.
4th of July Desserts
These American Flag pudding parfaits take only about 20 minutes to make and the result is an adorably delicious treat.
By shopping at Walmart, you can save time and money by making one trip and snagging their low prices. Just look at all these cute, no-bake NILLA Wafer recipe ideas!
This recipe can be easily tweaked for different occasions by simply decorating according to the festivities.
Instead of the American Flag; add a heart for Valentine’s Day or an anniversary party; use pastel colored sprinkles for Easter or baby showers; or just let your creativity shine!

It’s Summer, Turn off the Oven!
‘Tis the season for no-bake treats. When the sun is out and the water hose is set up for kids to happily race through its cooling droplets, the last thing you want to worry about is a hot oven.
Also, your air conditioner should be cooling you, not competing with the kitchen.
If you like more chocolatey no-bake treats, try these s’mores mini trifles.
Grab your swimsuit and join in the fun! Also, don’t forget to capture all these precious memories on camera.
