I love the Super Bowl, not for the game, but for time with family, commercials worth not fast forwarding through, a chance to win money in the football pool and of course there is food galore! I basically snack throughout the entire 3 1/2 hour game. My favorite treat from my Super Bowl party has got to be these Peanut Butter Brownies. I use a basic brownie mix to make life easy and then make the Peanut Butter Icing to smear on top. (I baked brownies in a 7×11 pan.)
Peanut Butter Icing
Ingredients:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp whipping cream
Directions:
Mix all ingredients except cream in a mixer or with a hand mixer. Once incorporated add whipping cream and mix until light and fluffy and lighter in color.
Cover Brownies with icing and sprinkle powdered sugar over top. Try not to devour the whole plate until your friends come over.
Life à la Mode 
We don’t have anything like the event the Superbowl is here in England. I was only wondering out loud yesterday how non-football fans felt about it. It’s nice to hear you still ‘get involved’ waiting for the adverts etc. I’ll be looking at some of them online later 😉
Yes, there is still lots of fun to be had for non-football fans. 🙂 The Budweiser commercial with the dog and horse was my favorite advertisement this year! Hope you can find the best ones online.
I’m sure I will. Us English have become a bit obsessed with the Superbowl over recent years! I’ll check that one out.
Reading your intro made me think of my feelings towards the game. Nice blog! The brownies look great. I was in charge of desserts yesterday and made saltine toffee and peanut butter tandy cakes. Here are the recipes if you’re interested. http://theoptimistichousehusband.wordpress.com/2014/02/03/tastykakes-and-toffee-dessert-recipes-from-the-super-bowl/
Woah, those saltine toffee bars look awesome! I’ll have to try your recipe too!
