Brownies –<\/strong> Another one you could buy at the store but will be much better made at home, even from a mix.\u00c2\u00a0 I usually reach for the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate brownie mix and throw in about 1\/2 – 1 cup of walnuts.<\/p>\n Cookies –<\/strong> You name it and they’re going to be awesome.\u00c2\u00a0 Were I coming to your house for a party I’d vote for some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies<\/a> that are still a little moist in the middle, but that’s just me.\u00c2\u00a0 Colton suggested some sugar cookies<\/a> iced to look like tiny footballs.\u00c2\u00a0 Although they do sound good, it sounds like a lot more work than I’d be willing to put in to sugar cookies.<\/p>\n Chocolate Fondue –<\/strong> This is Lucas’ choice for this year.\u00c2\u00a0 He’ll be serving it with fruit and cookies for dipping.\u00c2\u00a0 Some other tasty dipping options are pound cake and marshmallows.\u00c2\u00a0 If you’re wanting to booze this one up you could also add a bit of a flavorful liqueur<\/a> to your dipping chocolate.\u00c2\u00a0 Amaretto and Kalhua spring to mind as winners.<\/p>\n Those are all great options but I have one final suggestion that ties in to the theme of a Super Bowl in Florida.\u00c2\u00a0 Make up a homemade key lime pie or two.\u00c2\u00a0 If you’ve never had real key lime pie made from scratch you are missing out on some serious deliciousness.\u00c2\u00a0 Below is the recipe I was given via a food newsgroup back in the mid 90’s when the internet was just getting rolling.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s always come out fantastic and I’ve never felt the need to change it up.<\/p>\n Some quick comments on this recipe.\u00c2\u00a0 The filling that results from this recipe will only fill about 1\/2 of the pie shell, the other 1\/2 can be filled with whipped cream.\u00c2\u00a0 However, what I usually do is double the recipe so that it fills the crust completely and bake for 30-40 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Then still top the slices with fresh whipped cream.\u00c2\u00a0 Another twist is you can chiffonade<\/a> mint and add it to the whipped cream once you’ve gotten to firm peaks.\u00c2\u00a0 This adds another layer of flavor and works well with the lime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As you may have gathered from this week’s other food posts I firmly believe that no matter how healthy you eat the rest of the year, a Super Bowl party is no place for salads and rice cakes.\u00c2\u00a0 That said, there is one key category I haven’t touched on as yet, sweets.\u00c2\u00a0 I can say […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75,6],"tags":[209,10,74],"class_list":["post-836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-food","category-recipes","tag-food","tag-recipe","tag-super-bowl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=836"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":840,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836\/revisions\/840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"palmtrees500\"](\"http:\/\/cocktailhacker.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/palmtrees500.jpg\" "\\"palmtrees500\\"")
