1.) Mini slider tree – Cupcake trees aren’t just for sweets anymore.  Mix things up a bit by displaying your mini sliders in a style worthy of the Grove.

 

2.) Hotty Toddy football cake balls  – These chocolate-covered cake balls are decorated like footballs on the outside and filled with red and blue velvet cake on the inside. For display ideas, check out the Grove Gal: She takes cake pops to the next level by displaying them on Styrofoam painted to look like a football field.

 3.) Red velvet fudge pie – This recipe calls for boxed red velvet mix, making it simple enough for beginning bakers. Did we mention it’s covered in chocolate?

4.) Olivia Manning’s go-to chicken wings – These oven-baked wings with a Creole twist are a must on the First Lady of Football’s menu.

 5.) Ole Miss Italian Cream CupcakesSouthern Living’s inspiration for this decadent cupcake topped with toasted pecans and coconut flakes? “Italian cream cake is as lush and indulgent as a tailgate in the Grove.”

 6.) Mississippi Mud Brownies – These Mississippi Mud brownies combine marshmallows, chocolate and pecans for the ultimate tailgating treat. After all, a little mud never kept us away from the Grove.

 7.) French Toast cupcakes – Early game? French toast and bacon cupcakes totally count as breakfast. We’ve also pinned a recipe for pancake batter cupcakes with bacon and maple cream icing, if that’s more your style.

8.) Simple football cheese plate – Not all tailgating food requires elaborate culinary skill. Arrange cheese squares, crackers, pepperoni and any other cheese plate staples in the shape of a football for an instant appetizer.

9.) Rebel pretzels – Dip pretzels in white chocolate and add red and blue sprinkles for a salty and sweet gameday treat.

 

10.) Cheesy bacon oven chips with chipotle ranch sauce – The baked potato meets finger food. Last, but definitely not least.
