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.

What a great idea. I really like the fact that my party guests can do all the work of assembly. I know their eyes will get huge when they see the oil and vinegar, but WOW what a great flavor punch! Believe it or not, I still have some Halloween SNICKERS left. (In the freezer)
Game On!!!!!

I would never in a million years thought of adding vinegar and oils to my dessert! Anything with SNICKERS is sure to be a hit in my book! And such a festive dessert in the fun party glass! #client

Sharon – Snickers are my husbands favorite candy bar to throw in his lunchbox – we love them as a sundae topping too! You must try some infused oils and flavored vinegars next time you have an ice cream sundae! Takes it to a whole new level!
