In the beginning:
I used matting material that was on sale at Hobby Lobby. It was a little hard to cut evenly with the new exacto knife I bought. I made up the design and I went along. I wanted it to be large-like a real stadium.
I added collectable football player stickers to the stadium to simulate football posters hanging on the walls.
After filling with snacks:
We used Cheetos puff snacks, Fritos, Tostitos, Chex Mix, Movie Style Popcorn, Cheese Nips, and Chocolate Chip Cookies-which are all fan favorites at our home.
After making the guacamole field:
I included mini football players from Michael's-used for their football mums and sour cream for field line markers. Instead of slim jims, I used pretzels for goal posts this year, secured by a block of cheese underneath the guacamole. I have used salsa and queso for end zone areas before, but kept them separate this year.
Everyone seemed to enjoy it-it was shown by others on instagram and snap chat, so that makes it a success to me.
I made a double batch of queso, homemade salsa, frosted brownies with a football shape piped on top, chili with fixings, and buffalo chicken bites. We also had Cajun, hot pepper, and cheese popcorn from a local specialty popcorn shop.
I also shaped the popular Frito's bean dip into a football shape complete with sour cream laces:
Lastly, the biggest hit of the party seemed to be the sausage and cheese stuffed jalepenos:
A good time was had by all! Good luck with the fantasy teams! I love football....
