Did you all have an enjoyable time watching the Super Bowl commercials?
It was actually a good game as well...if you were playing attention. :)
Often times, in addition to the commercials, the thing people enjoy about the Super Bowl is all the food.
With a slight change in my game/commercial watching and eating plans, I stayed in town and 'joined' a different connection group for the night, instead of driving a couple towns away and go to mine.
About midafternoon, I figured it was time to make my snack.
I had grand hopes and high expectations that these would be fabulous.
But, when you don't give yourself plenty of time to complete them....well, hopes and expectations need to be dropped {or reduced}.
Here's the original post for the balls/bites I made {thanks mom for the idea!}
So thinking scotcharoos and football....why not make football bites!
{NOTE: It would have been great if I planned ahead before the return drive home from church/lunch, with a stop off at Dollar General. Thinking they would surely have Special K, I went on the hunt. Well, they did have Special K....with strawberries in it. And no other cereal seemed like a good substitute. So, I grabbed a box of the strawberry Special K. At home, I slowly dumped all the cereal on the counter to pick out all the strawberry pieces. Then I put it all back in the bowl, handful by handful. The reason.....the dried strawberries sure do leave a nice, red, colorful mess! I didn't want that mixed in with all the other goodness later.}
And here's the end result.
Yes, the 'laces' aren't all that grand. But that's what you get when you use a toothpick, and try to put laces on almost 50 footballs.
Ok. Who am I kidding. I think I gave up at about 30 footballs.
Because of this, it confirmed for me that I need to invest in some quality piping bags, tips, and everything else.
I tried to use a dollar-bin-purchase-from-Target-metal-piping-tube....but that was even more of a mess.
In the end, everyone enjoyed them. Their look...but most importantly their taste.
