36 yummy & healthy-ish party snack recipes (for GAME day & everyday)




.................

 let's be honest.
i know absolutely NOTHING about american football,  or the super bowl. {except the tv commercials are famously expensive, the half-time show is the talk of the town, and superbowl parties with lots of treats are the festive event de rigueur every january!}

 but at our house we do know a little something about snacks & parties. we LOVE 'em!

 so here's a roundup of 36 YUMMY, some sweet, some savoury, some crunchy, some gooey, some respectably salty party snack recipes that would be a perfect addition to your super bowl party or gosh-darn any old party! i deem them *healthy-ish* as most are made from fresh ingredients and are way less greasy and sodium-packed than their processed munchie counterparts. please note: i'm not a nutritionist in the least, but i do think these goodies look YUM! enjoy!

 ps: you can find all these pins, and MORE, in my *yummy & healthy-ish party snacks* board on pinterest! come follow!

giveaway & a recipe: with BKD signature



summer winds down here in the north and end-of-summer family picnics, back to school and cozier weather fill our thoughts! so it's the perfect time for a scrumptious & yummy dessert recipe, right?! 

today, Brie of BKD signatures offers one of her family faves: double-decker chocolate & peanut butter fudge. (don't worry: it's not healthy any-which-way you cut it, but sure does look delicious!) 



..................
Double Decker Fudge
by Brie

2 cups (12oz package) Peanut Butter Chips (like Reese) , divided
¼ cup butter, melted
½ cup  cocoa (like Hershey's)
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 ½ cups sugar
1 jar (7oz) marshmallow crème
1 ½ cups (12oz can) evaporated milk
¼ cup butter

1.    Line a 13x9x2-inch pan with foil.  Place 1 cup peanut butter chips in medium bowl; set aside.  In second medium bowl, blend ¼ cup melted butter, cocoa and vanilla until smooth; add 1 cup peanut butter chips.

2.    In heavy 4-quart saucepan, combine sugar, marshmallow crème, evaporated milk and ¼ cup butter.  Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until mixture comes to a rolling boil; boil and stir 5 minutes.

3.    Remove from heat.  Immediately add half of hot mixture to bowl with peanut butter chips only.  Pour remainder into cocoa mixture; stir to blend.

4.    Beat peanut butter mixture until chips are completely melted; spread evenly in prepared pan.

5.    Beat cocoa mixture until chips are melted and mixture thickens.  Spread evenly over top of peanut butter layer.

6.    Cool; remove from pan.  Remove foil; cut into squares.  Store in airtight container in a cool, dry place.
