While this year's Super Bowl is sure to bring some exciting action, it's the game day food that really gets the fans riled up. Between all the Super Bowl dips and buffalo chicken, the spread can start to feel like its own main event! But before the fourth quarter starts, save a little room for a sweet finish and add one of these Super Bowl desserts to your party's winning lineup.
Here, you'll find everything you need for a sweet ending to your menu of Super Bowl recipes, whether you want something festive, chocolaty, or made for sharing. There are football-shaped cookies, cakes that can handle a crowd, and plenty of brownie recipes for the folks who always head straight for the dessert table. A lot of these Super Bowl desserts are bite-sized treats, too, so everyone can grab one between plays without missing a single commercial. And when your oven is already working overtime, easy no-bake desserts like Ree Drummond's peanut butter bars or Oreo truffles are a lifesaver since you can prep them a few days ahead.
If you're feeding a big crew like the Drummonds, go the sheet cake route and call it a win! It's easy to dress one up like a football field with green frosting and a little help from store-bought candy, and you don't need fancy decorating skills to pull it off. No matter which Super Bowl desserts you make, add a football-shaped snack board alongside them and you'll most certainly be named MVP!
