 Football Cake Pops:

- Get a boxed cake mix and follow instructions and bake in a regular pan. Let it cool

-Crumble up the cake into a bowl, the smaller crumbles, the better.

- Take a scoop of the mixture and shape into footballs. Chill in the fridge.

-Melt chocolate candy in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring each time.

-Dip sticks into the melted mixture, add the football cakes to the stick.

-Dip the cakes into the chocolate mixture, let them cool without touching.

-Use white icing to add designs!

Hope you enjoy making these - they look so cute! We are going to a Superbowl Party over at Tyler's Parents home, and I am making a yummy taco dip recipe my mom gave me. Here is the recipe:

Black Bean Salsa Dip:

• 1 can of black beans - drained/rinsed
• 1 can of mexican corn
• 1 red pepper chopped
• 2 bunches of green onions
• 1 can black olives (i'm  not a fan of these - so i omitted them)
• 3/4 cup of salsa
• 1 t. minced garlic
• 2 8 oz. of cream cheese
• 1 cup of mayo
• 3/4 pkg. taco seasoning

1. mix cream cheese and mayo.

2. spread on serving platter or pan.

3. mix rest of ingredients together.

4. spread over cream cheese.

(She adds shredded cheese and cilantro as well - I LOVE cilantro - so will be sure to add some)

Hope you have a wonderful Superbowl Sunday :)
