Here are just a couple ideas for something for Superbowl Sunday!  I have to go pick Bill up from the airport in a little bit but I wanted to “throw” a few your way….. 🙂

Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip

• Corn or tortilla chips
• Thinly sliced green onions, optional

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, hot pepper sauce and salad dressing. Stir in chicken.
• Spread into an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-22 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with green onions if desired. Serve with chips. Yield: 5 cups.

Crab Football Spread

Ingredients

• 1 cup (8 ounces) 4% cottage cheese
• 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
• Pretzel sticks
• Assorted crackers and/or fresh vegetables

Directions

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add cheddar cheese, provolone cheese, crab, cottage cheese, seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and mustard; mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Form mixture into a football shape. Arrange pretzel over top for laces. Serve with crackers and/or vegetables. Yield: 1 cheese ball.

Football Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 package fudge brownie mix (13-in. x 9-in. pan size)
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2-3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup vanilla or white chips

Directions

• Prepare the brownie batter according to package directions. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, cocoa, milk and vanilla until smooth. Frost the cooled brownies. Loosely cover and chill for 1 hour or until frosting is set.
• With a sharp knife, make lengthwise cuts 1-1/2-in. parallel cuts from a short side to a long side to form diamonds. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips at 50% power; stir until smooth. Place in a small heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Pipe laces on brownies. Yield: about 3 dozen.

Have a great weekend!!!
