When you think of game day, you probably picture a spread of Super Bowl snacks, chicken wing recipes, finger foods and delicious dips. But if your night doesn't include some sweet Super Bowl desserts, then you're seriously missing out. The big game is a perfect time to dive into all of your favorite foods, after all. Especially if they double as décor for your festivities.

Have a big Super Bowl party planned with all of your go-to Super Bowl recipes? Great! If you're already planning to prep chili, toppings and Super Bowl drinks, turn to one of our easier desserts, like no-bake cheesecakes, store-bought cookie creations (which double as an epic dessert buffet!) or indoor s'mores that guests can assemble themselves. And if you're looking for something a little more standout, we've got you, too. Whip up a batch of football-shaped Rice Krispies, cinnamon-sugar-dusted churros or chewy chocolatey cookies that'll really wow your crew. Get creative and tint cupcake or donut frosting in your team's colors. To make game day even easier, prep dessert the day before (or at least refrigerate cookie dough ahead of time) and set it out when your guests arrive. Still seem like too heavy of a lift? Simply send this round-up to a friend and ask them to bring their favorite treat from the list. Now, that's easy.
