Super Bowl Snackage: Broncos Popcorn and Seahawks Cheesecakes

Maybe it's just me, but when you say "Super Bowl," I don't think, "Oh yeah, that's a good game of football right there. Man, can't wait to talk about all those missed passing opportunities and first downs and TDs and missed kickoff returns. Yessir, that'll be one good game. When you combine the Broncos offense with Seahawks defense, wow, that'll be a great game to watch because the passing yardage is so much and the tackling will happen so often." (that's my imitation of every football buff ever.)

I think more along the lines of: "Yay, the Super Bowl, it'll be so much fun to sit around with my family and eat yummy snack foods while critiquing commercials and watching some football." And then I'll brainstorm for about half an hour about all the different foods I'll have the excuse to make. And honestly, I don't think I'm alone in that ;)

Guinness Triple Chocolate Cupcakes

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

Chocolate is like that supernice kid from school who miraculously got along just as well with the jocks as the nerds as the popular kids, who seemed to fit in effortlessly to every clique just by being so friendly and easygoing and genuine. It's weird and wonderful how many different things you can pair with chocolate. Zucchini. Chili. Beets. Avocado. (All real recipes I've seen). I once made chocolate cakelettes frosted with basil buttercream. And they were delicious. Don't believe me? Just ask my highly skeptical family members who grudgingly had to admit they were into it.

That's what I love about chocolate. Well, one of the many things. It's just so versatile, so cooperative. Such a team player. Chocolate will never let you down. It will take what ever you throw at it and run with it. Spinach? Ginger? Pepper? Go for it. The weirder the better.

Today we're pairing chocolate with beer.
