Score a touchdown at that next tailgate or game day party with these 12 football themed dessert recipes.








My most favorite time of the year is officially here, folks! Fall has arrived, the leaves are starting to turn, & college football season is in full swing. 





The start of college football season also means plenty of tailgating & game day parties on the weekends. And what is a tailgate or football party without the food- am I right? ;)





Can I get a woot-woot from all of you out there who only watch the game for the food & the beer? (Woot-wooting over here! ;) )





I know that most of us have it covered when it comes to the savory stuff. Nachos, buffalo wings, & pizza are usually staples on any respectable game day menu. But what about the sweet treats to celebrate that win or to ease the blow of a big loss? 





No worries because I have got you covered with these 12 touchdown scoring dessert recipes that I sharing with you all today! :) Each & every one of the sweet treat recipes below are either football shaped or football themed making them the perfect addition to your next game day spread...

Skittles Game Face Fizz- This fruity and fizzy drink is fun for all ages! Make it in your favorite team colors for the big game.






Who is excited for the Big Game tonight? I know we will be watching it in this house. Well, I will be half watching the game between taking sips of this fun Skittles® Game Face Fizz and munching on one of our game day favorite recipes, my MVPeanut Butter SNICKERS® Popcorn. ;)  





My husband though? He will be all into the game.





Before any big game, I am making my own game plan for a tasty football party menu. I had to stop by my local Walmart first to pick up some of my game day favorites, like Skittles and SNICKERS.





I knew that for today's big game I wanted to come up with a super fun drink that all the get-together guests could enjoy, including my almost 3 year old daughter. 





While picking up a bag of our favorite Skittles at Walmart, it occurred to me why not concoct a fun and fizzy drink in our favorite team colors using the Skittles? :) And thus, my Skittles Game Face Fizz was brought to fruition...

Forget the usual six packs! Quench your thirst while watching the big game with these 12 Game Day Ready Cocktails.







I may not be into football as much I used to be, but I do know one thing- there are some pretty big games on this weekend. ;)  From the NFL playoff games to the NCAA National Championship game on Monday, this weekend was made for football, folks.  





And while I do not have any teams near and dear to my heart playing this weekend (my husband's beloved Steelers have already been knocked out), I have a feeling that my home will still end up being all football all weekend. 





Not that I am complaining. As long as we are serving tasty food and good drinks, I don't care which teams are playing or who's winning. 
Who's with me on this one? ;)





I think everyone always think of the game day food. They search their favorite food blogs and Pinterest for recipes in advance, make a plan with the other party guests to see who is bringing what, and so on. But how about those game day sips?   





Don't just pick up a couple of six packs this weekend!  Instead make watching that big game fun and thirst quenching with these 12 Game Day Ready Cocktails from some of my favorite food bloggers... ;)

The SuperBowl of ALL Giveaways! {$500 Paypal Cash Giveaway}

Pin It

Okay, so here is the thing... I do not care about who wins the Super Bowl.
(I apologize now to all my die hard Seahawks and Broncos fans out there reading this.  And yes, I just had to actually Google who is playing in the Super Bowl next Sunday before I typed that sentence. ;) )

But I will have people over.  I will host a little get-together.  I will sort of watch the game.
Why?
Because I am straight up in it for the food, my friends. 
Game day food is THE BEST.  Am I right?

Now, please don't think that I am one of those gals who is a sports hater. That is far from the truth.
I am just not much for professional sports... except for baseball.  And maybe hockey- but that is just for the fights. ;)
I am all about college football though, folks.  LOVE college football season.

Hello football season!  Well, kind of... Football season hasn't quite commenced in our house yet.  My husband is a die hard Pirates fan, so surprisingly he hasn't cared very much about college or professional football... yet. ;)
Right now it is ALL about major league baseball and the Pirates first winning season in like... forever.  
I am happy to see my husband so giddy over his favorite baseball team, but I am not going to lie- I prefer football season...
A.  It is a sport I enjoy watching more, for the most part.
B.  It is only on ONE day a week.  Maybe two, if you factor in one Mountaineers game a week and one Steelers game.

Baseball is on like almost EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.
I am kind of over our days being planned around a 3-4 hour baseball game... like all the time.

Regardless, I am mostly ready for football season for the food.  ;)  Chips & dip, grilling burgers, and buffalo wings.  Am I right? 
To help you all usher in the official start of football season (you know, if you happen to live in a household that is not also occupied by a Pirates, Cardinals, or Reds fan), I have gathered up 25 of the tastiest Buffalo sauced recipes from some of our favorite food bloggers.  
Buffalo sauce isn't just for wings, my friends... ;)
