sweet & salty football snacks....!

Football snacks

...so these are almost too easy to make into a post...and i'm sure you've seen these around before....but what the heck it's the super bowl next sunday (or the big game....can you still not say super bowl because it's copyrighted??)

....i've made these a bunch of times for parties and they are always a hit....a sweet and salty combo snack!....you'll need pretzels....any shape will work but i use the square ones....and candy melt/wafers, and m 'n m's.....

...then make them the team colors....for those of you not into football the NY Giants are in (woohoo!)....and the New England Patriots....and they pretty much have the same team colors---i was really routing for the Raven's last weekend so there would be another color combo to throw into the mix (it's kinda sad that i pick teams based on treats i'm thinking of making.....but i digress)....

....the patriots are wearing their blue uniforms and silver helmets...so i spray painted some white m 'n m's silver with some leftover duff silver cake graffiti....it's like edible spray paint....


....and used some candy wafers in blue and white....just pop on top the pretzel and bake at about 185 degrees until the wafers are just melted....about 5 minutes or so.....


....then add some non-pareils in coordinating team colors.....and an m 'n m on top....




....and you get some super simple and fun party snacks...that you can make the day of or make way ahead of time!.....oh and....

GO GIANTS!!!!!

  8. Those are cute and they look appealing to the taste buds. In other words, quite a good treat for adults who are enjoying watching the game with friends. I have never seen those before, although you mentioned that they are used for the event.

  9. Used red, white & blue for 4th of July. Make them for every holiday. Red & green for Christmas, green for St. Patricks day and red for Valentines day. Can use left over M&M's from Christmas for the holidays following.
