Serving patriotic inspired treats doesn’t have to be hard… it doesn’t even require baking if you don’t want to! {grin} One of my boys’ absolute favorite treats is the marshmallow. So when we saw these at the grocery, we grabbed a bag for our 4th of July picnic on Wednesday. We plan to serve them …

These mini gumball machines are perfect favors for the July 4th holiday! It’s not always necessary to give favors, especially at low-key family gatherings like most of us will host this weekend, but if you can squeeze it into the budget, it sure can be fun!
