CHICAGO (NewsNation) — Are you looking to make some last-minute treats to bring to the Labor Day cookout? Chef Bianca Vallone, owner of B’s Sweet Bites, shares some easy homemade recipes you and your family can create.

Hamburger Cupcakes

  • Vanilla cupcake
  • Brownie
  • Red, green, yellow and white buttercream frosting
  • White sprinkles

Grab a vanilla cupcake and cut it in half. Then, cut out a round brownie and place it on the bottom half of the split cupcake. Decorate the brownie with red, green, yellow and white buttercream frosting to mimic a hamburger’s toppings. Once decorating is done, place the second half of the cupcake on top and add white sprinkles to look like sesame seeds.

Sweet & Salty Mini Hot Dogs

  • 1 tube crescent rolls
  • 1 package mini hot dogs
  • 13×9 baking pan
  • Honey
  • Brown sugar
  • Butter
  • Salt
  • Walnuts (or Pecans)

Using one tube of crescent rolls, cut each triangle into thirds. Then, wrap each individual mini hot dog with the crescent roll dough. In a 13 inch by 9 inch baking pan, mix honey, brown sugar, butter, salt and walnuts. Place the crescent-rolled hot dogs on top of the mixture. Bake and serve.

Fruit-Filled Cobbler Bites

  • Store-bought or homemade oatmeal cookie dough
  • Fresh fruit filling
  • Greased cookie sheet
  • Optional: Cinnamon ice cream

If using the oatmeal cookie dough, pick out the raisins and scoop the dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Top with either fresh fruit filling or jam (peach, apple, cherry, blueberry, etc.). Bake and serve. As a bonus, you can make these into a cookie sandwich by adding cinnamon ice cream in between two bites.

Fruity Tutti Mocktail

  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh fruit (watermelon, pineapple, etc)
  • Plain tonic water
  • Splash of Lemon Juice

Add ice and your favorite fresh fruit to a pitcher. Then, add tonic water and a splash of lemon juice. Mix together and serve.

Blueberry Ginger Fizz

  • Fresh blueberries
  • Grated ginger
  • Sugar
  • Water
  • Ice
  • Orange juice
  • Club Soda
  • Orange slices

Boil fresh blueberries, grated ginger, sugar and water. Once it’s nice and concentrated, puree the mix and run it through a sieve. Add ice, puree, orange juice and a splash of soda water into a glass. Mix and serve with an orange slice.
