Because after savory, you’ll want sweet.
I promise, after an evening of this, this, this and this, you and your football friends will be looking for something chocolatey with a bit of crunch.
Enter Chocolate Butterscotch Crispy Treats.
I speak from experience, people.
No party is complete without sending our friends off on a sweet note.
And because they’re likely to best remember the last thing you served them, you betta make it good. Fist bump. Woe – getting my game face on already. Fist bump again.
And who doesn’t love a crispy treat? Especially one busting with chocolate and butterscotch? And here’s the good news…you like peanut butter? Replace the butterscotch with peanut butter. You like chips? Replace the chunks with chips. You prefer less chocolate and butterscotch? Use less. You want more? Use more. Flexibility is the name of this game.
So no matter what happens on the field – you win! And when half of you watching the game don’t experience a big “W”, at least you can look forward to a little “w” in the form of this personalized crispy treat.
Can’t beat that!
Buon Appetito!
