Edible Footballs Make Watching The Super Bowl Much Better

I am not a huge NFL fan, and as a result I see about 27 minutes of football all season long.  One game where I make an exception is for the Super Bowl. This is mainly because of the great food, great (and sometimes not so great) commercials, and for the socializing. And since we are regulars at the University of Utah’s football games, I know enough about the game to not embarrass Mr. S. In fact, most of the time I come off as the smartest, non-fan in the room.Loving a good party as much as I do, and knowing how much I love to see a theme carried out, I decided to make these fancy Rice Krispie treats. I was especially proud of the “field” I created with leftover frosting and a piece of green paper. To make your own use Cocoa Krispies instead of the regular ones, hand mold into football shape, and add frosting piping to make the stitching detail.

Even though I am a graduate of the University of Utah, I didn’t start attending football games regularly (or probably ever) until I met Mr. S. I’ve always preferred baseball to football. The warm weather, the atmosphere of a ballpark, the hotdogs, and singing “Take me out to the Ballgame” always suited me much better. I am still a huge baseball fan, but have found a little room in my heart for some football as well. Mr. S loves football and so being married to him means that I love football. Since Mr. S is a student we have been able to take advantage of the cheaper MUSS season tickets and attend just about every home game during the past 2 seasons. It’s become a fun thing for us to do as a couple and now I look forward to bringing our future children to games. And yes, thanks to the Oregon game I now understand what happens in a 2-point conversion.
