New Year’s Eve sparkler desserts

Sparklers aren’t just for the Fourth of July anymore! They’re gorgeous on New Year’s Eve, lighting up the dark… and maybe even your dessert! ; )

You can make the simplest dessert into an event when you serve it in a stemmed glass and add a sparkler on top – even plain ice cream is amazing. Photo found via Everything Fabulous.

If you’re wary about lighting sparklers, or having them around the kids, here’s an alternative to the real thing – silver, glittered pom pom sparklers! How adorable are these! (To use them as cupcake toppers or to put them in food, you’d just leave the wands plain instead of glittering them.)
