Fourth of July Flowers
Add a tasty touch of patriotism to your Fourth with these flowers full of flavor!
Prep time: 30 min.
Difficulty: Moderate
What you'll need:
  • An assortment of your favorite Mars candies, such as SNICKERS® and TWIX® Brand Minis, STARBURST® Brand FUN SIZE® and M&M’S® Brand Milk or Peanut Chocolate FUN SIZE® Candies
  • 3 pieces construction paper or card stock in red, white and blue colors
  • Non-toxic glue
  • Scissors
What to do:
  1. Using the printable templates, cut one size flower bloom from each color of construction paper. Place the largest flower on the bottom, then top it with the medium flower, and then finish with the smallest flower. Glue only the center of each flower, securing them all in place.
  2. Fold the petals inward so they stand up, creating a "bloom" effect. Tip the ends of the petals with the star stickers.
  3. Arrange three or four pieces of assorted Mars candies in the center of each flower. Arrange all the flowers into a centerpiece for everyone to "pick" a bloom, or place one in front of each guest as a table favor.
Tip: Mix and match the blooms for a more interesting centerpiece!
