Planning to host or attend a red, white and blue themed patriotic party this summer and need a dessert? Skip the American flag and boring old cupcakes and go the sweet and salty route. Consider making these quick and easy patriotic fireworks brownies to excite your taste buds!

This yummy treat pairs fudgy brownies with salty pretzels and has a sweet chocolate drizzle on top, all the things you look for in a dessert.

Ingredients:

Brownie mix
Water
Vegetable Oil
Pretzel sticks
Red, white and blue colored chocolate
PS this is my favorite brownie knife!

Mix brownies according to the directions on the box. Prior to putting into the preheated oven, break pretzel sticks in half and arrange on the brownies in a fireworks pattern.

Bake per box directions and allow to cool completely.

Melt chocolate which has been mixed with a small amount of vegetable oil. My favorite method involves small spurts in the microwave on the defrost setting and mixing between each spurt.

Put melted chocolate in Ziploc bag and snip the end of the bag.

Drizzle over the pretzel firework to create a second fireworks layer with colored chocolate. Repeat this step with two additional colors of chocolate.
