Easy Recipes for your BIG Game Day Party! #GameDayGlory AD | Mama Harris' KitchenIn case you live under a rock and didn’t know, I have some news to share.

The BIG GAME is coming up!! I’m not just talking any old game day… this is the big one. It’s touted as SUPER!! *wink*wink*

I know, I have so many game day recipes I’ve shared already. I can’t help it, this season is like holiday season for our family. My boys are into all the logistics and know everyone’s scoring record and when they were drafted and who’s getting traded and who’s injured and who’s doing well this season. While I enjoy all of that too, I’m also here for the food. Duh!

Okay, I also love to entertain and feed other people too. It’s sort of what I do. While my boys do like to go to the games once in a while, sometimes it’s just so much more fun to kick back at home and relax on your comfy couch to watch it all at your own leisure. Bonus, if you have people over there’s plenty of folks to help clean up, and you might even get out of doing the dishes altogether if you’ve picked your friends correctly!

So today we shall discuss some super easy recipes to serve at your SUPER BIG Game Day Party!

Easy Recipes for your BIG Game Day Party! #GameDayGlory AD | Mama Harris' Kitchen

  • We have drinks – aka Pepsi™ Ice Cream Floats.
  • We have snacks – aka Skittles® Sugar Cookie Sticks in Fruity Yogurt Parfaits.
  • We have chips & dip – aka Buffalo Chicken Dip served with TOSTITOS® chips and salsa on the side.
  • AND we even have dessert – aka Mini SNICKERS® Pies.

I even added some bowls for popcorn and a gorgeous fruit platter for the pickiest of snackers. There’s something for everyone!

Fresh Fruit Platter for your BIG Game Day Party! #GameDayGlory AD | Mama Harris' KitchenI made the decor simple. Dark green (wipe-able and reusable) tablecloth. Simple ceramic white plates, trays and serving dishes. Cute paper plates in different sizes that go with a game day theme. I chose large black and white striped paper party plates, and smaller green and white paper party plates with some large gray napkins. Most of the foods are finger foods, so we didn’t have too much of a need for utensils aside from the parfaits. I added a cute cup full of spoons next to those. I also added fun paper straws and green and white or black and white patterns for a fun way to mix it up, in addition to two glass sizes for the fun Pepsi™ Ice Cream floats. I chose larger football shaped glasses, and smaller glass tumblers with gold dots on them that matches the gold confetti and the gold and white tassel garland hung behind the food station.

Easy Recipes for your BIG Game Day Party! #GameDayGlory AD | Mama Harris' KitchenNow, for the food. Oh, the glorious food. I made a buffalo chicken dip for New Year’s Eve and while it was good it didn’t quite taste how I anticipated that it would. So I kept playing around with the recipe until I got something I absolutely love. This dip is so easy, and ohhhh so good. You can easily double (or triple) the recipe for a larger crowd.

Easy Recipes for your BIG Game Day Party! #GameDayGlory AD | Mama Harris' KitchenI served the dip with TOSTITOS® chips, and I also kept some TOSTITOS® salsa on the side as well as one of their cheesy dips. I also made some fun little fruity yogurt parfaits that I served with vanilla and strawberry banana yogurt, strawberries and raspberries, and topped them off with some fun little cookie sticks that have ends dipped in white candy melts, then sprinkled with crushed Skittles®. Just for fun I used the rest of my Skittles® XL bag to fill up a tall vase that I could keep on the table, just in case anyone felt like grabbing a handful here and there.

Easy Recipes for your BIG Game Day Party! #GameDayGlory AD | Mama Harris' KitchenFun floats with vanilla bean ice cream, Pepsi™, whipped cream and a cherry are the way I choose to wash down all of this yummy food. I really can’t think of a better way! Last, but not least, we have mini SNICKERS® pies! This is the perfect occasion for miniature decadence. I used refrigerated pie crusts and cut them in a cute shape with a cookie cutter. Sprinkled the crust with some cinnamon sugar and baked it, then created a peanut butter mousse sprinkled with chopped SNICKERS® Minis and nuts. Filled the mini pies with the mousse, then topped with some more chopped up SNICKERS® Minis and drizzled with caramel and chocolate. YUM. I couldn’t stop at just pies, I had to serve some SNICKERS® Minis too, so I chose a unique display vase and kept them near the pies.

Easy Recipes for your BIG Game Day Party! #GameDayGlory AD | Mama Harris' KitchenThe thing with making a good food corner is having everything you might need to serve all in one place. There’s snacks, desserts, drinks and finger foods here, but there’s always room for some more. I have recipes for so many flavors of wings, you could always start there!

For an even more elaborate food table that is sure to have all you might need to party, you can also create your own snack stadium!
