Football Brownie

Football Brownie

Football season is in full swing in the CFL and NFL and the big games are a perfect time to throw a party!! This easy Football Brownie is a sure game day winner!! The perfect finish to a snacking meal! This is simple to make in a 9×13″ pan and then cut into a football shape. Ice and decorate quickly, it will be a touchdown of a dessert with everyone!!

I initially served this for a Super Bowl party and it was a hit!! You always need something sweet at the end of the night when having a party. Not everyone has the time or the patience for making a big elaborate cake especially when it is for a casual party. The Football Brownie is the perfect choice. 

Invite the gang over for a day of football and bake up this delicious brownie to serve! You would also get major “brownie” points if you brought this to a football party!! 

Beyond the game itself the food is the number one priority or for some the only reason to be there!! For me I like it all, have always enjoyed a great football game in the season and for the end game!! Make everyone happy with this inspired dessert. Perfect for when the gang is coming over.
