The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are set to kick off Super Bowl LVII this weekend, but they are far from the only ones who have to prepare ahead of the big game. Those of us watching at home have a lot to get ready as well. What will we wear for the game, and the all important question, what will we eat?
Super Bowls are about the game, of course, but they are also a major day for serving up some of the best game day foods and snacks. If you are stuck on what to serve on Sunday, don’t worry, I have you covered. I love a theme, so to start, here are some football themed foods that look the part.
Football themed food
If you want something easy but cute and a fan favorite, try some chocolate covered strawberries with a football twist. All you need to do is melt chocolate as you would for normal chocolate covered strawberries and take white chocolate or icing to make the “laces” on the football.
Here is what they look like:

Sticking with the chocolate theme, you can also do a similar snack with chocolate and pretzels. Melt chocolate, dip the pretzel into the chocolate and take white chocolate or icing to make the laces. You can also add different colored sprinkles based on whatever team you are rooting for.
Sarah’s Bake Studio
To give your brownies a little football makeover, bake brownies (and there is no shame in the boxed brownies game) and add white icing or white chocolate to make the laces. You can also add laces to cupcakes to make them more on the NFL theme.

The Philadelphia choice is obvious; you have to think Philly Cheese Steak when you think of the city. There are tons of recipes out there and while it is hard to achieve the status of one as good as you’ll find on the streets of Philly, we can sure try.
