It’s Thursday before Super Bowl and you’ve probably seen so many versions of buffalo chicken dip that your head is about to explode with hot sauce. I love the traditional salty/creamy/fried/cheesy items as much as the next person, but it doesn’t mean that we can forget about dessert. So for those of you looking for some fun pick-up desserts to add to the mix, here are some of my favorite less traditional ideas.
Bite Sized Chocolate Chip Cookies with Mocha Ganache A football game is the perfect excuse for delicious bite-sized cookie sandwiches
Blueberry Pretzel Clusters Three ingredients and probably five minutes to make, what’s not to love?
Chewy Chocolate Covered Pretzel Bars These are one of the easiest things to make and they will please any sweet and salty lover; no fancy baking skills required
Double Chocolate Mint Crispy Treats These were a huge hit at my sister-in-law’s shower; another super easy recipe
Grown Up S’mores Cookies Even the biggest chip and dip lover can’t resist
Individual Peanut Butter Cheesecakes, lightened up You can still enjoy cheesecake at the super bowl with these individual treats
Individual S’mores Brownies You might want to make a double batch
Kitchen Sink Cookies and Bars Throw in whatever ingredients you feel like, even the leftover broken pieces of potato chips and pretzels will work
Oreo Mallow Clusters Substitute the peeps with regular marshmallows for these super easy chocolate treats
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Pretzel Pops These are actually a little bit healthy, really!
Pumpkin Pie Cookie Dough Truffle Pops I may or may not have eaten a few of these out of the freezer the other night
Thick and Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate and Toffee Bars I can’t wait to have an excuse to make these again
Now can someone please tell my body that calories don’t count during the Super Bowl?
OOh my goodness, these look like perfect super bowl treats! I’m loving the chocolate and pretzel theme, can’t go wrong! We posted a similar recipe today. :) Hope you have a great time!
Great list! Definitely can’t forget the sweets :)
Ohh, yay for a sweet roundup! I’ve been noticing a decline in my bookmarking recently–dips, I can take ’em or leave ’em. Traditional Super Bowl food is just not my speed!
Watching all that football has to burn some calories, right?
Now that is a seriously good point!
Loopholes. I find them.
Now this is my type of Super Bowl food! thanks for sharing!
Hey this is a great list! The Double Chocolate Mint Crispy Treats look delicious :)
I want to make all of these–and I’m not even having a super bowl party! lol Fantastic recipes :D
They all look great!
Dear Lauren,
Calories don’t count during the Super Bowl?
Eat away!
Monica
P.S. Anything else I can do for you?
Nope, that was all I needed! ;-)
Calories do not count during the Superbowl! And if they’re small treats, they totally don’t count ;)
Ok, then we are set:-)
Yes, we musn’t ever forget about dessert! It is the most important part of a meal! Love all these ideas…now which do I pick first?
Ohh delicious! I never think of desserts when I make sports party food. Now I’ll keep these in mind!
Love this roundup! I can’t wait for Superbowl and some yumtastic eats!!
These all look amazing! Desserts are a must at any party, especially the Super bowl!
These all look tasty. Nice to see a variety of sweet options for game day. :)
Yummy! What a great line up! Those Peanut Butter Chocolate and Toffee Bars are calling my name! ;)
I love pick-up desserts any time! Great collection!
wow everything sounds perfect!!! I would love to make the grown up smores
Love these! Nothing cheese me off than “finger food” that needs a plate, a fork and a napkin. These are perfect!
I completely agree!
Tradition seems overrated when you’re staring these desserts straight in the face. So do WW points. Who needs em anyway?
Seriously, I could do without most of the time!
I love this round up! I’d rather eat a bunch of dessert appetizers than savory for the super bowl! ;-) Yum!
Great sweet treat SuperBowl round up. Oh I am SO hungry now!
Where do I click to order all these? I’d like them delivered Sunday morning, please? ;)
Let me see what I can get through security and I’ll be right on my way!
Great list of desserts!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this post. I love all of the dips and appetizers out there but I need the sweets! They have not gotten their due recognition this week at all.
