13 Cheer-Worthy Super Bowl Desserts

If you’re like us, you consider food to be the most important part of the Super Bowl (after the game, we guess). And since we already have our appetizers and snacks ready, it’s time to roundup the best part of any meal –– dessert! From whoopie pies to pseudo-burgers, here are 13 ways for you to get your sweet tooth on. Can we get a rah-rah-sis-boom-bah?!

1. Championship Chocolate Cupcakes: How cute are these?! This is the perfect opportunity to bust out those frosting tips you bought a year ago and forgot to use. Oops. (via Cakewalker)

2. Game Day Whoopie Pies: Whoopie for whoopie pies! These are extremely easy to make, and the frosting can easily be customized to the color of your favorite team. (via Everyday Occasions)

3. Cake in an Egg: We’re a little on the fence with this one. The egg is absolutely adorable, but we’re not sure how we would feel about eating out of an eggshell. We mean really, what the shell? ;) (via Cupcake Project)

4. Football Cake Pops: Cake pops have been popping up all over the place, literally. They’re a guaranteed touchdown at a snack-filled party like this. (via love and butter)

5. Beer Cupcakes: Only on Super Bowl Sunday can you have your cake and drink it too. Have your beer and eat it too? Confusing. Either way, these spiked sweets are sure to be a crowd-pleaser. (via Foodista)

6. Apple Nachos: Nachos are pretty much a staple at all football-themed events, so it only makes sense that there’d be a dessert version as well! (via Shugary Sweets)

7. Matcha Passion Fruit Bars: Who would’ve thought that passion fruit and green tea would feel so at home at a Super Bowl party? (via Brave Tart)

8. Nutella Swirl Cupcakes: We’re pretty sure it’s been scientifically proven that everyone loves Nutella. Nutella in cupcake form? Even better. (via My Baking Heart)

9. Oreo Truffles: Instead of just putting out a bowl of Oreos (not that there’s anything wrong with that), this year, try making these delectable truffles instead! (via Hoosier Homemade)

10. Chips and Salsa Cookies: Trick play number one. These are actually cookies. (via The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle)

11. Chocolate Strawberry Footballs: From romantic summer getaways to heavy-hitting winter game days, chocolate-covered strawberries are welcome at any event, any time of the year. (via Domestic Fits)

12. Chocolate Nutty Mini-Football Treats: Better hide all your breakables. Everyone is going to want to practice their passes with these. Field goal in your mouth! (via Rice Krispies)

13. Hamburger Cupcakes: Trick play number two. A sweet version of America’s favorite food at a party for America’s favorite sport? How suitable. (via So Creative Things)

'Tis the season... for giving and getting things you (and your giftees) might not really need. With sustainability becoming a paramount concern for many and the drawbacks of overconsumption entering our collective consciousness, the idea of gifting thoughtful, handmade, and possibly even zero-waste gifts is becoming ever more appealing. The only problem? We're not all as handy as we might like to be. Don't worry though — you don't need to be an expert maker to craft these DIY Christmas gifts! From beginner to advanced, there's a homemade Christmas gift idea for giver and giftee alike.

1. Edible DIY Christmas Gift Ideas

Brit + Co

If you know your way around a kitchen, don't sleep on the opportunity to give your loved ones an edible gift. You know it'll get used (AKA eaten), and it's essentially a zero-waste gift-giving strategy.

We love making pretty desserts that work well as gifts, like this matcha yogurt bark, this peppermint bark, these super easy Christmas cookie recipes, and these edible gift ideas. Package them up with these creative gift wrapping techniques, or forego paper altogether and wrap them with a cute kitchen towel for a zero-waste approach.

2. DIY Craft Kits To Gift

Etsy

If you're a complete beginner to DIY and handmade Christmas gifts, it might be smart to start out with a kit. A DIY kit allows you to fashion a thoughtful gift that shows your recipient just how much time and effort you put into giving them something special.

This DIY permanent jewelry kit is perfect for someone who wants to give their bestie a one-of-a-kind present this year. You can also DIY Christmas-scented candles, grow your loved one's birth month flower, or construct a super-cute tiny house to be displayed as kitschy decor.

3. Handmade Christmas Gifts

We love a good DIY. Our favorite presents are handmade Christmas gifts, and we've shared a ton of homemade gift ideas in our time.

A cute winter terrarium is perfect for the quirky decor lover in your life, while nothing brings the hygge vibes more than a hand-knit blanket. Give your favorite houseplant lover some gorgeous flora in one of these DIY cement planters, or embroider a pillow that'll add a cute touch of color to your bestie's home!

4. DIY Home Decor

Brit + Co

Speaking of your bestie's home, we've got plenty of ideas for DIY Christmas gifts you can give in the home decor category.

Spruce up a simple IKEA desk to give your work wife a WFH chair that's cute and from the heart. Make magazine wall art in your giftee's favorite colors to add a homemade, kitschy touch to their space. This Anthro-inspired DIY chandelier is another great option for artsy decor lovers.

A friend who loves hostessing will appreciate this pineapple cutting board, and someone who's into the beauty of organization will swoon over this DIY wall organizer.

DIY Jewelry

Brit + Co

Many of us adore jewelry, so why not give someone in your life a cute and colorful accessory this holiday season? These acrylic earrings are super colorful and adorable, while this DIY choker is '90s inspired and totally on-trend. We also love this geode statement necklace and this cute necklace made out of old tee shirts. Talk about sustainable style!

It looks like we'll just be getting Jacob Elordi movies for the rest of time, and honestly, I'm thankful. (Even if that one cringy Kissing Booth scene still runs on a loop in the my brain). Before Swift Horses with Daisy Edgar Jones, Jacob is teaming up with another Hollywood titan you'll recognize from Pretty Woman: Richard Gere. And the movie looks incredibly emotional.

Here's all the latest info on Jacob Elordi and Richard Gere's brand new movie Oh, Canada.

What is the Oh Canada movie about?

Oh, Canada Plot

Oh, Canada follows the life of legendary (albeit fictional) filmmaker Leonard Fife. This story probably approaches Leo's career the way we think about Steven Spielberg's. AKA, he's very important. Leonard decides to tell his life story before he runs out of time. And even though he's got an impressive resumé, he also has to decide if he wants his Vietnam draft dodge and sticky relationships to become public knowledge.

"Leonard sits for an extended interview with his former student Malcolm (Michael Imperioli), relating candid stories about his younger self (Jacob Elordi) in the tumultuous 1960s and beyond," the synopsis says, adding that "at Leonard’s insistence, his wife and indispensable artistic partner, Emma (Uma Thurman), bears witness to it all."

How to watch Oh Canada?

Oh, Canada Release Date

Jacob Elordi's new movie is coming to theaters December 6, 2024 — the same day as Rachel Zegler's Y2K and Amy Adams' Nightb—ch!

Who's in the movie?

Kino Lorber

Oh, Canada Cast

The cast of Oh, Canada includes Richard Gere, Jacob Elordi, Uma Thurman, Michael Imperioli, and Victoria Hill, while the movie is written and directed by Paul Schrader (who also worked with Richard on 1980's American Gigolo!

What has the cast said about the movie?

Uma Thurman has been vocal about how excited she is to be a part of the project and told Deadline the movie feels like a "reverie" and has a "lyrical, sort of loosely knit, poetic" quality about it.

"The cinematic hand of Paul, of course, carried the day, as far as bringing this sort of illusionary dream together into something that you walk away from with the strong impression of a story," she says. "Just the presence of a master like Paul Schrader on a set of any size, is as distinct as, I don’t know, a warm wind. It’s like the wind that hits you when you get off a plane in the tropics. There’s only one thing of its ilk, and he’s kind of a master like that. You could really be anywhere; you can’t miss it."

That sounds like my kind of movie.

Director Paul Schrader revealed he fell in love with Jacob's performance the moment he saw him — which was before he took the world by storm in Priscilla. “I saw his performance on Zoom and, if this was 40 years ago, this is the guy I would have cast for American Gigolo,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
