2. Add a layer of chocolate chips to the bottom.
3. Top with diced strawberries.
4. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the strawberries (optional but delicious).
5. Arrange the star marshmallows on top.

these pool floats were one of my favorite summer finds 💙❤️

they’re oversized, come in several colors, and give me the same classic resort-style look as much pricier floats. i grabbed mine on sale for $8, but even at $10 they’re such a good find.

• 1/2 cup funfetti cake mix
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 1 bag popped popcorn
• red, white & blue sprinkles

melt butter + marshmallows together on low heat. stir in cake mix, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

pour over popcorn and mix well. add sprinkles while still warm 🍿

I linked everything I used here 🤍

okay this is messy… sticky… and not cute to eat 😂 but TRUST ME it’s so good.

I remade the viral marshmallow popcorn and gave it a red, white & blue twist just in time for Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July, summer movie nights, or pool parties 🍿

just make sure to eat or serve it pretty soon after making it because it’s way better while it’s still soft + gooey 🤍

save this for your next summer get together and send it to the friend who always brings the snacks 😂

Mini S’mores Cookie Pies 🍫🔥
(Tap below for link to everything I used)

You have to try these—they’re gooey, chocolatey, and next-level delicious. Here’s how to make them:

You’ll need:
• Mini graham cracker crusts (store-bought)
• Reese’s peanut butter cups
• S’mores-style marshmallows (the flat kind made for s’mores)
• Chocolate chip cookie dough (pre-portioned kind works great)
• Optional: kitchen torch

How to make them:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Place a Reese’s cup inside each mini graham crust.
3. Add a s’mores marshmallow on top. (Optional: give the top a quick toast with a kitchen torch!)
4. Take 2 cookie dough pieces, smush them together, and place on top of the marshmallow.
5. Bake for about 15 minutes, but keep an eye on them—they’ll puff up and may spill over a bit. Once the cookie top looks golden and set, pull them out.
6. Let cool a bit… or top with ice cream and dig in while they’re warm 😋

Perfect for summer nights, parties, or when you need a little sweet moment! 🍪

here’s the exact patriotic cookie combo i used ❤️🤍💙

⭐️ Pillsbury Apple Pie Cookie Dough⭐️ Pillsbury Salute To Service Flag Sugar Cookies⭐️ red, white + blue sprinkles

HOW I MADE THEM ✨

dip the top edges of the apple pie cookies into patriotic sprinkles

place on baking sheet + bake about halfway (slightly underbaked at this point)

remove from oven + gently press the flag sugar cookie into the center

place back into the oven + bake until fully cooked through

the slightly underbaked apple pie cookie helps the flag cookie bake right into the center perfectly 🇺🇸

SO cute for Memorial Day + Fourth of July

Here’s the lemon posset recipe 🍋💛

you’ll need:
• 8 lemons (for the cups + fresh juice)
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2/3 cup sugar (adjust to taste—add more if you like it sweeter)
• 8 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• optional: lemon zest + a splash of vanilla

slice the lemons in half and scoop out the inside.
use a strainer to press the pulp so you get fresh lemon juice

in a saucepan, bring the cream + sugar to a gentle boil and let it simmer a few minutes, then remove from heat
immediately stir in the lemon juice (and vanilla if using)

let it sit about 5 minutes, then strain if needed and pour into your lemon halves

chill for at least 3–5 hours (i did overnight)

that’s it 🤍

top with berries, mint, flowers, or even brûlée the tops if you want to dress them up ✨

#LTKfoodie #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

if you need a simple summer dessert that looks impressive… this is it 🍋

3 ingredients, no bake, and you can make them ahead for hosting
i served them right in the lemon halves and they turned out so cute .. the tray I used came from hobby lobby but linking similar!
