THE DISH: These deals are red, wild and blue

Jun. 28—It's not a holiday if there's not a dining deal or two. Celebrate America with some savings.

Enjoy flavor fireworks with local favorite La Rosa Fruit Bars & Ice Cream, which is again offering its 4th of July bars. With patriotically colored stripes of red (cherry), white (coconut) and blue (bubble gum), the treats are $24 for a dozen. Call 619-9359 to order with pickup at the shop's alley entrance, 1317 Niles St.

Be the hit of your July 4 fete by swinging by the shop on Monday when you can enjoy the "Blast from the past" deal of 24 bars for $24 (any flavor). The offer is only good Monday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Let sweetness ring at Krispy Kreme with its Stars and Stripes Dozen, which features three all-new doughnuts, will be available to purchase individually or by the dozen in a custom, Fourth of July-themed box.

The new flavors are:

Red velvet sparkler doughnut, a red velvet cake doughnut topped with cream cheese icing and a stars and pearls sprinkle blend.

Freedom flag doughnut, an original glazed doughnut dipped in red icing and decorated like an American flag with a blue-and-white sprinkle blend, and white icing stripes.

All-American apple pie doughnut, an unglazed shell filled with apple cinnamon filling, dipped in caramel icing and a graham cracker crumb, finished with a drizzle of white icing.

"Family, friends, food, fireworks ... the Fourth of July is so much fun, and our new Stars and Stripes doughnuts will let sweetness ring at any gathering — from backyard barbecues to lined sidewalks at neighborhood and community parades across the land," said Dave Skena, global chief brand officer for Krispy Kreme, in a news release.

Customers who come in on July 4 wearing red, white and blue to participating Krispy Kreme shops across the land can enjoy a free original glazed doughnut. The deal is not available for online orders and limited to one per person.
