I don't think theme desserts are my thing. But Independence Day comes but once a year, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Brainstorm with me for a minute... How many blue foods are there out there? There's the obvious -- blueberries. Other than that? I couldn't think of anything, and I had no blueberries. Solution: I dyed some white chocolate blue and then used it to cover almonds. Voila! Tacky, perhaps, but this red cherry, strawberry, blue almond, white chocolate-covered tart did the trick for our 4th of July picnic.
