Bella Bowl V is over now… Bella was a good hostess, as usual. By the end of the night, she was rather exhausted from all of her hostessing duties:
Anyway, the party was a success… lots of good friends and good food. In addition to the usual football fare like buffalo chicken dip and white chicken chili, we offered quite the dessert selection. Nostalgia ruled the day – the Rice Krispie treats were a big hit, as were the butterscotch haystacks. (My friend’s mom used to make these and I loved them! If you’ve never had them, I recommend giving them a try.)
I also ordered cupcakes from Hey Love. They were both adorable and delicious! (In addition to yummy sweets, she also provides a host of other design and party services – go visit and say hi! She even has a puppy connection – her pup Nico came from the same rescue group as Bella – that means they’re related, right?)
Not only did Michelle from Hey Love deliver some fantastic cupcakes, she was also kind enough to come over the night before the big game for a cake pop date! We took inspiration from Bakerella and made football cake pops. Unfortunately, while taking the (not yet coated) pops out of the freezer, I managed to drop half of them on the floor. Luckily there was no puppy nearby to sneak a chocolate treat!
Anyway, below you can see the finished product… they’re not the prettiest, but they were delicious. I found these tougher to make than the basic pops I made last year. Oh well, practice makes perfect, right?
What did you guys do for Super Puppy Bowl weekend?
