Ah, beer. A must-have for any Super Bowl party, these cupcakes are basically the closest you’ll get to standing in line at the concession stand at the actual game.

But it is enough to give it a slightly strong flavor, along with a sweet-and-salty frosting.

It doesn’t matter which teams are playing in the big game – there’s an M&M color to match their jersey. These cookies are a fun way to support one (or both!) teams, but you’ll need to do some advance planning for this dessert if you want to order custom M&Ms.

Whether it’s the Falcons, Patriots or any other team with red in the logo that makes the Super Bowl, these bb red velvet cheesecakes are delicious and festive for any Super Bowl soirée.

Everything is bigger in Texas, and this chocolate cake with chocolate frosting lives up to the hype. It’s made in an 18×13″ pan – which is probably a bit bigger than the Pyrex you have in the cupboard – but it makes for a thinner, crowd-pleasing cake once it’s cut into squares. So yeah, you should probably invest in another one pan.

If you’re looking for something your guests can eat without having to make a plate, this sweet combination of peanut butter, sugar, cream cheese, and Reese’s Pieces is a simple but flavorful no-bake dish. Just make sure to do it at least an hour in advance and not while your guests are in the Uber, so this baby has time to settle down.
