Black Bottom Cupcakes Perfect Ending to Super Bowl Bash
Make all of your favorite snack foods, dips and drinks and end the party on a high note with these petite treats!
You think Brady has pressure on him this weekend? Ha! He hasn’t been stressing over the Super Bowl menu! And not just any Super Bowl menu, but a menu where the Pats are playing in the Super Bowl.
I over-thought this one. Had I just asked everyone what they wanted, I’d have had my answers. I would hear: “Pork BBQ Sandwiches” (which, by the way were amazing but more importantly, we ate them and the Pats won, so of course we have to serve them again. We’re a little superstitious over here!), “Kielbasa” and “End Zone Nachos.” I guess all I really had to do was go back to my good old reliable recipes, grab a few of the standbys that everyone devours.
I also wanted to make a fun, sweet dessert that everyone would love, too. Who doesn’t love a good cupcake? Like watching football, these cupcakes have been a tradition in our family ever since I can remember.

Yes, it’s easy to grab a cake mix and some homemade frosting, but you can whip up a batch of these special homemade cupcakes (they’re my all time favorite cupcake) in just as quick of a time. This combination of a creamy cheesecake-like filling and chocolaty cake will have your football fans reaching for more!
Wherever you watch the Super Bowl this weekend, surround yourself with great friends, family and, of course, great food! Go Pats!
