Looking for some Patriotic snacks to celebrate summer with? These red white and blue snacks are sure to be a hit with any crowd, young or old. The perfect option for your summer party, choose a 4th of July snack that is easy, fun, and tasty!
If you didn’t know by now, I love playing with my food – and by my food, I definitely mean my kids’ food. Whether it’s fun breakfast toasts, spooky soup, or festive smoothies, I think feeding your kids should be fun! Spending a few extra minutes to make a simple snack exciting is what adds a bit of that ‘magic’ to childhood. When your kids are all grown up and thinking about their childhood, little details like snowman pancakes or Halloween soups will be things that put a smile on their faces.
While spending the time making smiley faces and turning strawberries into hearts might not be something you have time for on the day-to-day, the occasional fun snack time treat is something you should definitely fit into your schedule! Today I’m sharing 2 of my own simple patriotic snacks to serve your kiddos when the time for red, white, and blue snacks rolls around that are both delicious and easy as well as a bunch of patriotic snacks from some of my favorite bloggers with will help make your Memorial Day or 4th of July snack time fun.

Fun Patriotic Snacks Sure to Wow
Graham Cracker Flag
Take 2 whole graham cracker sheets and spread softened cream cheese on one and nut butter (I used peanut) on another. On the cream cheese, add 4 blueberries to the top left corner before creating red ‘stripes’ with halved raspberries. On the peanut butter cracker, add blueberries the same way before laying down sliced strawberries down. Finish by making white stripes with whipped cream. Enjoy!
Red, White, and Blue Snack Cup
In a separate bowl, combine red and blue berries. I used cut strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. If desired, add a tablespoon or so sugar to the bowl and stir before setting aside to allow the berries to get juicy. When ready to serve, crumble one graham cracker sheet into a clear cup (I used disposable cocktail cups like these) and layer berries and whipped cream or Greek yogurt. (Vanilla ice cream would also be amazing!)
The easiest way to add some red white and blue to your patriotic snacks is to add some colorful fruit! Need some inspiration? Here are my favorites.
Red, White, and Blue Fruits
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Blackberries
- Blueberries
- Apples
- Bananas
- Pears
- Jicama

I’m looking forward to having my family and friends over for a Memorial Day cookout and I’ll be preparing all kinds of patriotic snacks. Thanks for all the great ideas.
We have a big cookout for July 4th, so I am definitely going to make some of these awesome ideas for them. Love the graham cracker flag!!
omg these are so cute! I will probably have just given birth around the 4th of July this year or not in the mood to cook by memorial weekend…i feel like i need to demand someone bring me these haha!
The graham cracker flag is actually so adorable – and so simple to make! Those fruits must taste delicious with the sweetness of the graham cracker.
Amazing how easy all of these dishes are to make and put together. Plus I love decorating for the 4th of July. Who doesn’t love the red, white and blue theme.
I have pinned a few of these! They rock! I love the deviled eggs and the graham cracker flags. They’re so inventive and easier than I thought they’d be!
Wow, I am impressed with all of these. Everything looks so delicious–I need to make some with my daughter. I especially like that cookie cutter fruit salad. I believe we have a star cutter somewhere so I could make it!
These all look so fun and yummy! I usually stick to a 9×13 cake decorated like a flag, but I am going to have to try these this year!
