Superbowl weekend is just around the corner, and I’ve got 12 quick & easy recipes perfect for every part of the game.
Appetizers
The TV’s on, and so is your team’s jersey. These tasty nibbles will satisfy your immediate hunger without distracting you from the big game…or your beer.
Sweet & Spicy Pepper Jelly Dip
Entree
It’s half time, and hopefully your team has pulled ahead. If not, at least there’s something satisfying waiting to sink your teeth into. 3 of the 4 recipes are warming in the crock pot, while the other is 5 minutes in a hot skillet away.
Dessert
Dessert needs no introduction…or timeline for that matter. Chocolate, caramel, brown butter and peanut butter are good no matter what half it is – or score!
2nd Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe in the World
Caramel Filled Chocolate Cookies
Salted Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats
Eat well and cheer loud! GO STEELERS!

All these dishes look uh-mazing!
I am definitely making Buffalo Chicken Dip but I also want to try it with Crab. I’ve never done it but I can’t imagine it wouldn’t rock!!
I have the recipe laid out for the buffalo chicken dip!
We have a King Cake we ordered from New Orleans in green and gold – go Packers!
I’m gonna have to go with the Packers!
Everything looks delicious – it reminds me that I need to try that pepper jelly dip!
We’re cheering for the Steelers all the way!
…what’s this Super Bowl event you speak of? LOL…
GO PACKERS!!!!!!! WOOT!!!
Girl, you know I scrolled RIGHT down to the desserts! I can’t wait to take a game-day excuse to indulge:)
Oh, and BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW:)
Yum, those all look great. I am cheering for the packers b/c I cannot stand ben rothlessberger.
Awesome recipes! Since I want anyone but the Packers to win, I vote STEELERS!
I’m making jalapeno poppers, meatballs in crock pot #1, baked beans, your pickle bite dip, pulled pork sandwiches in crockpot #2 and brownies. We also have chips, wine, lots of beer and bloody Mary ingredients. So excited.
GO PACK GO!!!!!!!!
These look great! I am currently trying to decide what to make this weekend!
Thanks for posting this! I actually just looked up your Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie recipe last night to make on Sunday. Can’t wait to try it out! I’m planning on serving it with vanilla ice cream right out of the oven. Thanks for all of the great recipes!
Those recipes look amazing! Honestly, I dont really pay much attention to football or the Superbowl, but since I live in PA, I guess the Steelers
Packers! Love the King Cake plan from Kristen. I was there last week and brought one home as my Birthday cake for this week as I am from New Orleans and it was what I always had as my Birthday cake. Wish I was having/going to a Super Bowl Party so I could eat some great food.
Definitely rooting for the Packers! I’ve lived in WI all my life so I have to!
Great recipes!
Rooting for the Steelers! You can go wrong with Black and Gold!
I’m not really a huge football fan, but I’m rooting for the Steelers, mostly because I love Palamalu’s hair …
Go Pack Go
Oh so sad about this Steelers comment!!
We are huge Packers fans so we’ll be rooting for GB!!!!!
I am very sad about your super bowl choice… but I love all your recipes, and have bookmarked a few to make Sunday!

GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!!
Great recipes! GO PACK GO!!!!!
Kristin, how could you even think of cheering for the Steelers? Especially when you live so close to Wisconsin! GO PACK!!!
Looks yummy!
Go Packers!
Super what?
I don’t do sports, if there are not 18 holes and little sticks involved – not my gig!
May the best brawny win!
WHAT?!?!?!? I have been a faithful reader for over a year and then you pull out a “Go Steelers!” ????!?!?!?! Go PACK GO!!!!!! Rooting for Big Ben? Really????
I am seriously disappointed in the fact that I have lived in the Midwest my WHOLE life and I have never even heard of Maid-Rite! I’m adding your recipe to my menu next week, just so I don’t feel like I am missing out on something Midwestern (even though I am skeptical)!
I’m with you on the “Go Steelers”!! Mostly because I cheer “anyone but The Pack”! Skol Vikings!!
Those recipes look so good!! I definitely have to try some of them. I won’t be rooting for anyone because sadly the Eagles are not playing.
Ladies! Get out of your comfort zone and make…Liver Dip! It’s even better than it sounds:
1 8 oz braunschweiger
1 8 oz cream cheese
loads of minced garlic
fresh chopped parsley
juice of one lemon
cracked black pepper
OK, let the stuff soften to room temperature. This is critical because if the braunschweiger is cold and stiff, the fat globules will smear and the dip will have the wrong consistency. Is it room temperature? OK, let’s begin. You take the braunschwieger and cream cheese and gently FOLD it together. Do not use a mixer, food processor, egg beater or floor machine. Fold it gently together using a large spatula and bowl with the muscles God gave you. Dump in the minced garlic, chopped parsley and black pepper. Squeeze the lemon through a seive to catch the seeds and blend that in gently, too. Go to Goodwill. Buy one of those copper-colored mold things that old ladies hang on their kitchen walls. Wash it. Spray the inside with Pam-type stuff. Carefully place the delicious liver dip in the mold and work out any air pockets. Refrigerate for a couple hours. Invert and dump onto a plate with the satisfying plop that only organ meats can make. Serve with Ritz crackers. Be prepared for 12-step intervention, some people will not be able to control themselves.
Serving tip: DO NOT tell children it’s actually liver. Watch them devour it. I’m proud to say this recipe contains nothing but wholesome, unadulterated, 100% pure American saturated fats. With every bite an old communist dies somewhere.
This IS really good! My friend Joyce makes it.
Joyce just tosses it in a pretty bowl.
Can I just say… EWWWWW!!!!! Sorry, just sayin! It’s gotta be a guy thing or maybe cause I don’t do the L word. Ewwww!
All in for the PACK. Your recipes look amazing – my husband is a date freak and with bacon, he’d probably be even more freaky. But your Mom’s Maid Rites are awesome!
I don’t watch football so I’ll be rooting for the Peanut Butter Pie : )
Packers… cuz they are our friendly neighbors to the NE! Plus I love cheese! And green & gold are my old high school colors! (Go Saydel!) What can I say……..?
Mmmm, can I come to your party? It looks like it will be delicious!!
Yum! All the recipes look delish. I will be serving maid-rites, bacon-wrapped little smokies and a cake in the shape of a jersey…GO STEELERS!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO!!
Go Pack, go!
love it, girl!
So, kinda off topic, but when are you going to share the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever? I’m dying, here!
My boyfriend and I just made your Buffalo Chicken Wraps…OMG!!! So delicious and so addicting! Thanks! Go go go PACK go!
I made the chocolate cookies and peanut butter pie for our neighborhood Super Bowl party. For me it was all about the pie. It has to be one of the best tasting pies in the world. I’m a little sad that I gave most of the pie leftovers to my neighbors! My husband loved the cookies. I think he told me at least 5 different times during the game how much he loved them. (He wouldn’t try the pie because he doesn’t like peanut butter and chocolate together. There is definitely something wrong with him!)
