43 Desserts To Make Super Bowl Sunday Sweet (2024)

43 Desserts To Make Super Bowl Sunday Sweet (1)

We don’t know about you, but we’re going BIG for Super Bowl LVII (Sunday, February 12, 2023). We’ve got plans for everything from the most crave-able wings, the creamiest dips, the most flavor-packed sliders… now what are we missing? Dessert, ofc! Though maybe not the first thing that comes to mind when you think Super Bowl, we’re all about offering a little something sweet to help celebrate the wins (or soothe the stress of losing!). These best Super Bowl desserts are the perfect options, whether you’re looking for Instagram-worthy football-shaped treats, portable bites that don’t require a plate, or shareable dishes your whole crowd can dive into.

If you truly want to impress your guests this game day, there's nothing better than a dessert shaped like a football. Our football brownies, football cookies, football cake, or football cupcakes are TOO cute and will have your guests oohing and ahhing way past halftime.

If you’re less into the cute and more into down-and-dirty delicious eats, you’ve got to try one of our dessert dips, skillets, or nachos (yep, we said it!). Our Reese’s nachos, our Funfetti dip, our sprinkle cheesecake ball, and our Oreo cheesecake football are all just as good for sharing as their savory counterparts, but with a delish sweet twist.

It’s gotta be said: Super Bowl parties can get a little… messy. Many of the classic apps are practically known for being extra saucy and unwieldy—and that’s one of the reasons we love ‘em! If this stresses you out more than any penalty or a fumble, try one of the bars, cookies, or bites we included on this list just for you. Our chocolate chip cookie bars, our cheesecake egg rolls, our buckeyes, our confetti squares, or our trash (talk) treats are all easy to handle without making a mess, whether you’re serving them on plates or letting people pick them up from an app table. Hot tip: Cut them smaller so they’re easier to eat in fewer bites (less crumbs!).
