Super Bowl Food Coma Party

Hey everyone! The Super Bowl is this Sunday and it’s a great matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. Being a big sports fan I couldn’t be more excited, however, what I’m most excited for this year is the food! What really makes a good Super Bowl party isn’t the game (the game is a constant). Assuming you are watching the game with the friends you hang out with on a usual basis, the thing that really makes a Super Bowl party memorable is the food! In order to help you out make your party more awesome then the rest, I’ve put together a Pinterest board with some great recipes and ideas that’ll keep your friends talking about this party for years to come.

Homemade Ice Cream Sandos

Homemade Ice Cream Sandos

For the party:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tap vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Smiles. You need smiles.
  • 1 pint of your favorite ice cream, or more if you dare

Cookware:

  • 10″x15″ baking sheet (rimmed helps)
  • Parchment paper
  • Medium mixing bowl

What to do:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Now melt the butter and mix all of the ingredients with the exception of the ice cream, in the mixing bowl. Mix it hard. Mix it good. Make that ish creamy awesome.

Once creamy chocolate mixture status has been reached, take your baking sheet and cover it with a layer of parchment paper.

Pour the chocolatey goodness onto the parchment paper and spread it evenly with a spatula making sure to leave a 1-2″ buffer from the sides. Feel free to use your tongue if you are going to be making the batch for yourself.

Throw the sheet in the oven for 5-10 minutes (time will vary depending on oven size – if this is your first time doing this, it doesn’t hurt to check the brownies occasionally – nobody likes a burnt brownie ).

Once the brownie is cooked, pull out of the oven and place another piece of parchment paper on top of the brownie. The idea here is to flatten the brownie to make it harder and more solid for the sando shell. Find a nice flat surface (i.e kitchen table) and place the brownie on it (between the parchment paper still). Take the cookie sheet and place it on top and press down to flatten the brownie.

Place brownie in freezer to cool a bit more – we don’t want the ice cream to melt on contact so a cold brownie will be better.

After a couple minutes, take the brownie out of the freezer, cut in half and spread the entire pint on one half. Take the other half and place on top of the ice cream and press down to help even out the ice cream. If the ice cream is melting at all, place the cake back in the freezer to cool it back down.

Take a knife and put it under hot water (a warm knife will cut the cake better) and cut up into bite size pieces

Serve and enjoy your food coma!

A Delicious Buttery Balls Party For Your Mouth

A Delicious Buttery Balls Party For Your Mouth

For the party:

  • 8oz unsalted butter
  • 10oz bag of marshmallows (mini melt easier)
  • 6 cups Reece’s Pieces Puffs
  • 1/3 cup milk chocolate morsels
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Smiles. You need smiles.

Cookware:

  • Large sauce pan
  • Cake pan – you decide the dimensions – smaller = thicker

What to do:

First, you need to brown that butter. Start by turning your favorite burner on the stove to a medium heat and melting the butter in the sauce pan.

Once the butter is melted, it’ll begin to foam and sizzle at you, like it’s cheering because you are awesome. Make sure to stir and don’t become too arrogant with how awesome the butter thinks you are as you need to pay attention. The butter will start to brown in color and smell “nutty.” You’ll notice little brown flakes floating up from the bottom of the pan because they wanna play. Say no and scrape the flakes from the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat to warm or off and mix in the marshmallows.

Stir until you have a nice creamy fluff.

Now it’s time for the real party to start. Mix in the puffs, chocolate chips, and salt until everything is coated with everything else.

Take the cake pan, lubricate it with butter, and dump the puff party into it. Spread evenly with a spatula. (I used a greased parchment paper to push the puff party into the corners of the pan).

Let cool for 30 minutes to an hour and then serve yourself a delicious food coma.

U Bombs

U Bombs

The FCK U Bombs are disastrously delicious. Named the “U Bomb” because the pork-bacon-cheese combo destroys the Kosher code. It’s worth it. I promise.

Makes 12 bombs

For the base:

For the toppings:

  • 6 slices of cheddar cheese, cut into quarters
  • 4 strips of bacon, diced
  • 15 – 20 picked jalapeños, diced

Cookware:

  • 12 hole cupcake pan
  • aluminum foil
  • flat cookie tray

What to do:
20121126-220601.jpgPreheat oven 350° F.

Cook that bacon in the oven until it’s nice and crispy. Dice it nice.

Fill each cupcake hole with pulled pork 1/3 of the way and top with egg.

Place cupcake pan in oven and remove when eggs have been cooked through (about 8 – 10 minutes).

20121126-220623.jpgHere’s the tricky part. Grease a piece of aluminum foil that is big enough to cover the entire cupcake pan and place over the top. Take the cookie tray and place face down on top of the aluminum foil. Press together and flip so that the contents of the cupcake pan is now sitting onto of the cookie tray. Life the cupcake pan away and wash.

Place two cheese squares on top of each pork egg creation and sprinkle with bacon.

Toss the cookie sheet back into the oven until the cheese has melted.

Sprinkle with jalapeño.

Serve and enjoy your food comas!
