Entertaining + Fun: Super Bowl Party Appetizer

The Super Bowl is coming up in less than three weeks. It’s Sunday, February 3rd, to be exact. Whether you’re hosting the big game at your house or watching it somewhere else, finger foods and appetizers are usually the main attraction (besides the commercials, of course!), so I thought I’d share a yummy Super Bowl party appetizer for you to try.

For New Year’s Eve we went to a friend’s house and I made a delicious red velvet cheese ball that you may have seen on Pinterest. It was a huge hit with everyone, so I thought I’d make a variation for the Super Bowl party or any football party—a football red velvet cheese ball.
