While this year's Super Bowl is sure to have some exciting action, it's the food that really gets the fans riled up. There's an endless array of Super Bowl dips and chicken wings you can make for the party feel like a winning success. But before the fourth quarter starts, you should offer a sweet finish to your epic spread. So, be sure to serve up one of these Super Bowl desserts!
Here, you'll find everything you need for a sweet ending to your menu of Super Bowl recipes. Think: football-shaped cookies, cakes, and plenty of chocolate brownie recipes. Many of these desserts are bite-sized treats so you can snack on them without missing a single Super Bowl commercial! You can also save time by making some easy no-bake desserts like the peanut butter bars or Oreo truffles that you can whip up a few days ahead. There are even cute rice cereal treats that look just like mini footballs.
If you're feeding a big crew like the Drummonds, try a sheet cake recipe that's sure to please a crowd. You can easily make it look like a football field using store-bought candy and green frosting! There are minimal decorating skills required. No matter what you make though, don't forget to serve your Super Bowl desserts alongside a fun football-shaped snack board, and you'll most certainly be named MVP no matter who wins in the end!
