Superbowl Menu

Posted by Laura on Monday Feb 8, 2010 Under Appetizers, Vittles

We had a nice little Superbowl Sunday.  We kept it pretty low-key, for a couple of reasons:

1) Our own New England Patriot’s weren’t playing.

2) It was a school night.

Every year, I get all excited about Superbowl Sunday, no matter who is playing. And then I realize how late the game is starting!  And then I remember, that I forget that that is the case, almost every year!

Still, we can’t let the opportunity for a little private family party, pass us by.  But considering the circumstances this year, we kept the menu simple-simple.

We made these tasty little morsels for this first time,  for New Year’s Eve. My girlfriend Paula wanted the recipe, so I told her I would blog a post on it. And here it is.  Because I’m always true to my word.  And also, I wanted to make (read: eat) these again. : )

After our good-intentioned whining spells as of late, about wishing for more comments, we thought you all deserved some nice treat ideas.  The hot cider was one, and just as soon as we get some “I”s, I’ll be posting the easy recipe to that. (Yes, we are relentless.)  (OH….I double posted. So there is a new post, posted before this one, down below if you want to start there. ) In addition to the cider recipe, we’d like to share some steps to this easy, pretty, fun and festive treat!

Last year for our Christmas gathering with some family, we made these pretty pretzel rods drizzled with chocolate.  Our visiting family even wanted to… (READ MORE......) | 8 Comments
