We all know that sending real fireworks in the mail is illegal. And if you didn’t, now you do. However, don’t let that stop you from mailing these festive Fourth of July treats! Start with Lifesavers, Mentos, or other round candies that can take the heat. After that, all you need is construction paper, wire and glue to create some completely legal (and delicious) firecrackers!

The Fourth of July is such a fun holdiay to celebrate — and fortunately, lends itself easily to mailable packages. One of the simplest ways to share the festivities across the miles is by collecting various decorations and treats in the classic red-white-and-blue color scheme. If you’re afraid that something like a Crunch Bar might melt en route, get creative — all you need to do is walk down the candy aisle at the grocery store for inspiration!
