Summertime is the perfect time to host friends and I love nothing better than a girl’s night in.  But I equally love easy ideas, and this lemon dessert bar party idea is the perfect quick and easy way to host friends.  With a few simple decor ideas and delicious Betty Crocker™ Chilled Treats!, this lemon-themed dessert bar can be thrown together for a fun girl’s night in that everyone will remember!

Setting up a dessert bar doesn’t have to be hard.  Use a bar cart or set up a space in your home on an island, a dresser, or even a shelf.  Add a cute backdrop like these bright yellow lemon slices {I used my cutting machine to make these out of paper and vinyl and stuck them to the wall with tape} and add some natural elements.  Lemons and magnolia leaves from my yard added color and warmth to this dessert bar and made the theme really stand out.

A pitcher of lemonade, cute mason jars or glasses, colorful straws, themed napkins, and stamped wooden spoons are all great additions …

… but Betty Crocker™ Chilled Treats! in Lemon and Chocolate Mousse flavors are the key to this easy dessert bar!  Made in just minutes, you can whip up these new treats for a summer party, a last-minute dessert idea, or unexpected guests!  I love that they’re packaged individually so you can keep a box or two in the pantry and make yourself a quick treat any time your sweet tooth is calling.

The best part about these new treats is how quickly they can be whipped up.  They chill in the fridge for at least five minutes, so you can create a single-serving of mousse just for you any time you want!

To make them, all you need in addition to the mix is a bit of milk – something most of us always have in our fridge.

You simply mix the milk and the mousse mix according to instructions and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least five minutes.  Then, add the deliciously sweet topping {included in every box} before serving.

Pairing the Lemon Mousse with the Chocolate Mousse gives guests two distinct flavors to choose from …

If you want to add additional flavors to your dessert bar, these Chilled Treats also come in two other flavors: Key Lime Mousse with Lime Drizzle and French Vanilla Mousse with Salted Caramel Drizzle.  They all whip up with the same easy process: grab the mix of your choice, add milk, chill, top, and enjoy!
