How to Choose a Red White and Blue Dessert 

The hardest part might be choosing which Easy Red White and Blue Dessert you want to make.  When deciding, ask yourself a few questions. 

• Will it be outside?  If the party is outside then you need to think about whether or not it will be in the sun.  How will the dessert hold up? 
• How long will the dessert be out?  Some Red White and Blue desserts can be out all day long and others can only be out for a couple of hours.
• Does the dessert need to be refrigerated?  If so, is there a refrigerator or cooler to keep it cold?
