Some people throw a Super Bowl party to, you know, watch football, but us? We’re just as invested in the FOOD, and fun dips, snacks, wings, pizza, and more are a must for our watch parties. Our spreads are known for being so elaborate, they’ve even pulled avid fans away from the game. To keep everyone’s eyes on the prize (even those who don’t know their quarterbacks from their touchdowns), we like to tuck a few stadium- and football-shaped foods onto our tables. They’re easy to make, fun to eat, and best of all, SO CUTE. Really, they’re a guaranteed win, no matter how well your team does.
Let’s talk sweet versus savory. If you’re craving the first, you’ve gotta check out our football cupcakes (topped with adorable chocolate-covered strawberry footballs), our football brownies, our Oreo cheesecake football, or our football sugar cookies. Leaning more savory? Our salsa verde football bomb, our pull-apart spinach-artichoke football, or our pepperoni football are for you. Hot tip: Pretty much any dip or cheese ball can sub into these recipes, so use your favorites!
You can also take both sweet and savory into snack stadium territory. Use our brownie sundae snack stadium and our football field dip as inspiration, then get creative and make one of your very own.
