Memorial Day BBQ with Kraft Foods {Punch Recipe + Giveaway} #KraftBackyardParty CLOSED

One of my favorites parts of warmer weather has to be the addition of the grill into our cooking and entertaining options. In my mind, nothing really beats a good barbeque and in our house we have the perfect division of duties. My husband handles the grill while I prepare the sides. It is a great way to make a fairly stress free meal when you aren’t tackling it alone!

For my Dad’s birthday and Memorial Day, we celebrated with quite the feast at my parents house. My mom spoiled us with baby back ribs, brats, potato salad and so much more! Doesn’t it look amazing? I really couldn’t fit half of it on my plate.

I always like to help by bringing a few things to the party. Kraft sent me some of these cute HONEY MAID Lil’ Squares Honey Grahams. They’ve made a great snack for our boys and they are so easy to take with us on the go!

I decided I had make a recipe for Chocolate Marshmallow Dip to go with them using only three ingredients. It was a great alternative to s’mores and the kids gobbled it up!

I also made these Patriotic Jello and Fruit Parfaits. Anything in an individual cup seems to get the kids extra excited and I liked the idea of single servings. I created this recipe as well since I couldn’t seem to find any layers from recipes that used my beloved Philadelphia cream cheese. This recipe could easily be converted for a full gelatin mold to save time.

Kraft also sent me two different new flavors of KOOL-AID. While I don’t typically serve this to my kids, I thought it would work well for a punch and found this great recipe from Kraft. While the original recipe called for Tropical Punch, I substituted Peach Mango. It was delicious and so easy to prepare!

Another big hit was the COUNTRY TIME Half & Half Lemonade Drink Mix. My whole family loves this stuff, even those were aren’t typically fans of iced tea. My niece was even mixing the punch with this drink mix. It created an interesting flavor but tasted pretty good!
