Super Bowl Spreads

With Super Bowl LVI just around the corner, I wanted to share a few ideas if you are hosting or attending a Super Bowl party! For a few years in a row I made chocolate covered strawberry footballs. They are always a hit and very easy. Also you can make any dessert in the shape of a football if you have a football cookie cutter. I've done cookies and brownies and both were quite easy. Last year I made the snack spread with the football cheeseball as the feature! Below is the recipe. 

Football Cheeseball

2 eight ounce blocks cream cheese (room temperature)

2 cups shredded mozzarella

1 cup grated Parmesan

1 tbsp. chopped parsley

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Pepperoni

1 slice mozzarella cheese (for details)

Combine cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, parsley, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving platter and form into a football shape. Lay pepperoni on top and top with mozzarella "laces". 

For this year I made some football cookies and tried some new cookies to look like the field, goal posts, and crowd. I love how they turned out! I didn't even use royal icing for these, I just used regular buttercream and they are delicious! I also dyed some coconut green to look like grass or turf and used some Valentine X and O gummies to show some plays. I used colored m&ms for the outside and it was SO easy to put it together. I don't really care who wins, but of course you could write whatever you want. I just used pre-made letter cookies from Trader Joes!
