Fireworks on the Fourth

...more like on the ninth, actually.  My plan was to make this meal for T's lunch on Independence Day...but, it didn't happen.  :/

• firecracker-shaped sandwiches (with licorice for the wicks and star-shaped marshmallows for the "sparkles")
• "pop"corn (with firecracker rocket picks)
• "JULY 4" (written with food-safe markers) star-shaped marshmallows
• Mott's Mixed Berry Applesauce
• cranberry juice

The "fireworks" on the right is a pick, placed in the hole of the muffin tin.

Did you know...?

• The earliest documentation of fireworks dates back to 7th century China, where they were invented.
• China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world.
• The Walt Disney Company is the largest consumer of fireworks in the United States.
