As you all know, a few weekends ago was the Superbowl!! The Superbowl is always such a fun time at the Kite house. The boys get super excited about the game and all of the "Man Food" that they are allowed to consume that day. The girls get excited for the commercials, half time show, and all of the yummy treats :) We made some super yummy treats for the Superbowl this year, and I'm positive that my excessive consumption sent me into a sugar coma that night. Anyways, here's the round-up of the "sweet" treats that we enjoyed for the big game.
Fudge Puddle Pizza
Remember the fudge puddles I made for New Year's? This creation is basically a fudge puddle in pizza form! I whipped up a batch of Josh's favorite chocolate chip cookies, spread the dough onto a greased pizza pan, topped it with the fudge filling and marshmallows, and plopped it in the oven at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. YUM. Seriously this fun treat was soooo good! It's kind of difficult to make clean cuts because of the sticky marshmallows, so just make sure that you allow your pizza to cool completely before attempting to cut it into slices. It might also help to run your pizza cutter under really hot water before cutting. This is such a fun treat that you could get really creative with! Try topping it with m&m's, butterscotch, white chocolate, or peanut butter chips! Go crazy, but please give it a try!
Fudge Puddle Pizza
Batch of your favorite cookie dough
Batch of Fudge Puddle Filling (find the recipe here)
Mini marshmallows, m&ms, chocolate chips, crushed oreos, etc.
Prepare your cookie dough and spread it onto a greased pizza pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown (be careful to not let your edges burn).
Spread fudge puddle filling on top of the pizza cookie, leaving a small outer crust. Top with marshmallows, m&ms, chocolate chips, etc.
Bake for another 5 minutes or so until the marshmallows are lightly brown.
Cool completely!
Cut into thin pizza slices and serve!
Frozen Chocolate Dessert
This dessert was famous around our house growing up! It was always such a treat because my mom didn't make it very much since we rarely had angel food cake lying around the house. We had some angel food cake left over from the chocolate fountain from my cousin Kami's baby shower the day before so we decided to put it to good use! Man alive folks, this cool, creamy, rich, chocolatey dessert is as close to heaven as you can get. Seriously. This recipe comes from my Grandma Kathleen Peterson, so you KNOW it's gotta be good. The woman is a genius when it comes to all things chocolate. My picture doesn't do it justice, so please just give it a chance and make it one day. I promise it won't disappoint.
Recipe:
Frozen Chocolate Dessert
12 oz. package chocolate chips
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. sugar, divided
4 Tbsp. water
4 egg yokes, lightly beaten
4 egg whites
1 pint whipped cream
1 loaf angel food cake
Chopped nuts for sprinkling (optional)
Combine chocolate chips, 1/2 cup sugar, 4 Tbsp. water, and egg yokes in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until thick (microwaving it works too). Put pan in cold water to cool.
Beat egg whites and 2 Tbsp. sugar til stiff. Add to chocolate mixture. Then fold in whipped cream.
Pour 1/3 of the mix into a 9x13 pan, then break pieces of angel food cake up the size of marshmallows and place them side by side on top of the mixture. Pour the rest of the mix on top of the cake, and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Freeze until firm and allow to thaw slightly before serving. Dig in!
The last sweet treat that we made for the Super Bowl was Muddy Buddies. I didn't take a picture of these, but I'm sure everyone knows what they look like. If you are unsure what Muddy Buddies are you must make them right away!! Seriously. They are so addicting and delicious!
Muddy Buddies
9 cups Chex or Crispix cereal
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Into large bowl with a lid, measure cereal. Set aside.
In microwave bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on high 1 minute. Stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla.
Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated.
Add powdered sugar. Seal the lid and shake until well coated.
Spread on waxed paper to cool.
Store in airtight container in the fridge.
Once again, I'm sorry it took so long to post these recipes. Give them a try and let me know what you think! Have a wonderful weekend, friends!
