Wow! The big game is just around the corner.  I’ll be spending that day with friends in Northern California and I want to bring a special “sweet treat” to enjoy after the pizza, wings, queso and chips have all vanished.  #CollectiveBias set the stage when they asked me to create a #BigGameTreats recipe. I decided on these SNICKERS®  Ice Cream Sundaes!  I’ve already picked up bags of SNICKERS and  Skittles® at my local Walmart to throw in my suitcase. I’ll pick up the other ingredients when I arrive, since ice cream and liquids aren’t easy to travel with. (smile)

I don’t really have a favorite team in this game but I’ve sure heard plenty of hype about sneaky things going on in the previous playoff games.  I’ll be watching the big game because it IS the big game!  My favorite teams fell off the grid a while back but “hey” I’m always up for a party!  What’s not to like about some great food and lots of cheering and laughter with a bunch of friends.  I’m hoping for an eventful game with a close score.  For me that always keepings things interesting.  You know a few interceptions, a fumble or two, a blocked kick, an 80 yard runback for a TD!  WhooHoo I’m getting excited just thinking about it.

I’ll use extra bags of SNICKERS and Skittles to brighten up the dessert table! There are a couple of ways to serve these. You can do all the work yourself – or NOT! I’ll be putting out an array of party glasses with individual bowls of fruit, SNICKERS (chopped up) and a few different infused oils and flavored balsamic vinegars for the guests to play with.  Yep I said, “oils and vinegars”.  Have you ever tried those on your ice cream?  If not you are in for a real surprise!  I chose chocolate olive oil and raspberry balsamic for this particular creation but you can have a ball by setting out a variety of oils and vinegars.  Choose fruits (I selected fresh raspberries) that compliment those and chop up a big bowl of SNICKERS because they are the finishing touch!

The first thing you’ll need to do is have plenty of good quality vanilla ice cream on hand.  Choose your oils and vinegars and insert pourers into the bottle tops for control while pouring.  Select your fruit, wash and place in small bowls. Next you’ll want to chop up a bunch of SNICKERS bars – I used the minis to attain small pieces – perfect for topping the sundaes.

Now you are ready to assemble or have your guests assemble the sundaes.  Begin by drizzling some balsamic into a glass.

Next add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
