Football Food!



Now that football season is in full swing, our Sundays are pretty much always planned around the Cowboys games. Usually while Colin is watching the game, I spend most of the time in the kitchen (how 1950s do we sound?!) making something "football-y". A football appropriate dish is usually a. easy to eat b. delicious and c. unhealthy. These are two of my favorites that definitely meet all of the criteria!

Jalapeno Popper Dip

2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayo
1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chiles, drained
4 oz. canned diced jalapeno peppers, drained
1 cup grated Parmesan
Panko bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 375. Stir together cream cheese and mayo in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in green chiles and jalapenos. Pour mixture into an 8x8 dish and sprinkle with Parmesan and panko bread crumbs. Bake until cheese is bubbling and panko starts to brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

Chocolate Football Crispies

6 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate
1/2 cups light corn syrup
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups Cocoa Pebbles cereal
2 small tubes of white decorative frosting

Microwave chocolate, corn syrup and butter in a large microwaveable bowl on high for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring when 1 minute remains. Blend in vanilla. Add cereal, mix well. Let cool for 10 minutes, then use moist hands to shape into football shapes on parchment paper. Let cool completely and use frosting to add lacings. Let stand until frosting is firm.
