Planning your gameday menu? Check out 10 popular tailgating treats that Ole Miss fans are sharing on Pinterest. Follow the official Ole Miss account at Pinterest.com/olemiss for more ideas and inspiration.
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 Cupcakes – Southern 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.
