Here’s a super-simple desert for the 4th of July—Patriotic Brownies! Everyone loves brownies and these are even more yummy because they’re topped with frosting and fresh strawberries and blueberries! The brownies are from a mix with chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (or pecans) added in. Or, you can make your favorite homemade brownie recipe. Likewise, these are frosted with ready-made frosting, but you can use your favorite homemade vanilla or cream cheese frosting recipe instead!

Making the flag pattern on top with the blueberries and strawberries is super-easy and just takes minutes to do. If you’re wanting to make these brownies ahead of time, let them cool completely and frost them. Don’t arrange the berries on top until closer to serving time, and then refrigerate until ready to serve.

You can make these brownies in a 9×13″ pan or baking dish. Since I was taking pictures of these brownies for Mary & Martha, I baked the brownies in their Fresh Joy™ Rectangular Baking Dish, and it worked perfectly! The decorative wavy edges make such a nice presentation, whether you’re baking a dessert or a meal in this baking dish!

Hope you all have a special holiday weekend filled with fun, rest, and relaxation! What types of foods are you making for your patriotic celebration?
