Super Bowl Snacks
Buffalo Chicken dip is one of my all time favorites. I am constantly asked for the recipe, and when I am brining a dish to share at different parties, this one is often requested! Luckily it is super easy to make, so I never mind whipping it up for a football loving crowd.
It is football season, and if you are having a house full of guests, it is time to get thinking about some easy crowd pleasing foods! Football fans like finger food. They want something easy that they can quickly grab and not miss a minute of the action! Here are a couple of recipes that are sure to keep the crowd happy–unless their team is losing–I don’t have a recipe to fix that!
The baked chicken dip is best served hot, but it seems to disappear quickly even when it is cold. The ranch dressing and hot sauce give this dip the traditional “buffalo wing” flavor, but I think the bonus flavor is in the cream cheese. To be fair, I do believe that cream cheese is a bonus that can make any dish better!

Need something sweet? Do I even have to ask?
Football Brownies
Take your favorite brownie and cut into football shape with a football cookie cutter. Let’s be honest here…if you have been cooking and cleaning all day in preparation for a football party, a brownie mix will be perfectly suffice for this treat. Add some white frosting details and you have a simple and cute sweet treat! The fact that your brownies are in the shape of footballs and have icing piped on them, is enough to make any brownie mix taste fabulous! But, if you have just a little extra time, and you are going for the big win, check out Cookies & Cheese she made Ina Garten’s Outrageous Brownies for her footballs.
