Red, White, and Blue Cupcake Bar with SKITTLESยฎ Candy: Fourth of July Cupcakes
This post has been sponsored by Mars Wrigley Confectionery. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Letโs celebrate the red, white, and blue! This dessert bar has an unexpected ingredient: SKITTLESยฎ America Mix Candy from Dollar Generalยฎ!
This year, our school calendar lets out on Memorial Day weekend. I have the perfect idea for a celebratory activity! Gather your best cupcake toppingsโlike frosting, sprinkles, and cupcake standsโand pair them with the fruity flavors of SKITTLESยฎ Candy! We whipped up a batch of our favorite vanilla confetti cupcakes and used vanilla frosting in a piping bag with a star tip. A star tip makes it easy to frost in various designs.
Once your cupcakes are cooled and frosted, start decorating! Small cupcake liners can be reused to hold sprinkles and candy, and we sorted out the red, white, and blue colors of SKITTLESยฎ America Mix Candy from Dollar Generalยฎ!

Our local store is in between our home and baseball practice, so it is easy to run in to stock up on sale items or pick up last-minute party ideas. Look for your closest store and stock up on your favorite cupcake toppings. They will also have everything you need to bake and frost your cupcakes, too!
The combination of sprinkles and vanilla frosting and the unique flavors of SKITTLESยฎ America Mix Candy made each cupcake a deliciously sweet treat.
