Five Favorite Football Foods

With the Superbowl right around the corner, here are five of my favorite football foods. Be sure to check out all of the Football Food I’ve posted as well.

Cheesy Mushroom Pull Apart Bread – what’s not to love here? Bread + Melty Cheese + Mushrooms + Butter = the perfect Superbowl snack. This bread will disappear in minutes. Guaranteed.

White Chocolate Frito Popcorn – Now this one might sound a little peculiar to some of you, but believe me, it works. The Frito and white chocolate combine to give you salty and sweet all in one bite.

Creamy Red Pepper and Collard Greens Dip – Everyone loves a great dip when it comes to snacking. This one can stand up to any buffalo chicken dip any day.

Cuban Sandwich Sliders – You know those little ham and cheese sliders that EVERYONE loves? Imagine those, but made in to little Cuban sandwiches. There’s pulled pork, ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard on these sliders.

The Ultimate Whoopie Pies – Cakey chocolate cookies, toasted marshmallow frosting, and salted caramel… these definitely are the Ultimate when it comes to whoopie pies!

Love these, I could eat the whole batch myself. So much healthier than the boxed crackers, that have all those ingredients I can’t pronounce!

  I completely agree. We avoid processed foods as much as possible. I was glad to find a snack that Hubby loves so much and is *so* easy to make at home.

These cheez its are stunning looking! They must be very cheesy and crispy! I really need to make this for my husband soon!

  They definitely are! Hubby convinced me to make more this weekend already 🙂

looks delicious – how do you think this would work with other cheeses? I’m thinkin’ pepper jack…

  I would think other cheeses would work pretty well. I wouldn’t use anything too soft, but pepper jack should work. Let me know how it goes if you try it!

I HATE pickles. They are awful, but I definitely love cheese crackers. I especially love white cheddar cheez-its 😉

  You should definitely make these then – they’re seriously so good!

  I don’t even eat my french fries that touched the pickle at restaurants. And I LOVE french fries!

I have always thought making your own crackers would be too much work. Your version looks straightforward and delightful. I’m sure the taste is worth all the effort!

  I agree, it was definitely much easier than I would have guessed. My sister, who never bakes, has already made these twice!

I don’t like fries that touched pickles either! Not only do they then taste like a pickle, but they get soggy and I prefer crunchy fries!

Um… Cheez-Its are one food I cannot have around. Once I open the box, I pretty much eat the whole thing. I love this homemade version!

Hello! I am more of a baker than a cook, so I was very nervous about what to make for my boyfriend’s Superbowl party! Found this recipe, and just made it! SUPER easy! I am really impressed by how much it tastes like a cheez-it… but better! I like this recipe and hope to try it with other cheeses! Thanks!

PS. I did use the silicon baking mat and that made it a lot easier. Good point to follow!

  So glad you enjoyed them!! I’ve already made them a handful of times with various cheeses and spices thrown in. They’ve all been delicious.

  I think any cheese that comes in a block would be fine for this recipe.
