Reply:I agree with rowdyrebelgals suggestion...Maybe shape the sugar cookies into footballs ... just a suggestion
Reply:try something with cheese, guys love cheesy snacks.


BTW recipe goes with "C" and not "S"
Reply:packages of popcorn (different flavors like rich butter, kettle corn, and cheese flavors), small bags of chips like Lays/Doritros/Pringles, small bags of Smart food popcorn works too, Mixed nuts/trail mix (better if homemade *no meltings*). Non-chocolate candies like swedishfish, gummy bears, maryjane, etc..., You can also add fruit by the foot, those fruit snacks kids eat nowdays can be fun and useful during games. A case of Sodas as well, or beer if you guys are over 21. Hope this is Helpful! Enjoy!
Reply:U can make chocolate cookies, candy apples or caramel apples bags of Doritos chips, Dip for the chips, pretzels,regular potato chips, Salsa,some cans or bottles of beer
Reply:Assorted nuts, like peanuts or honey roasted, cashshews,pistachios, or anykind. Add different kinds of crackers


and canned cheese spread and for get some tortilla chips with


jarred cheese and salsa and his favorite drink.......cute idea.......
Reply:Hi Shorty Baby!!!





Tortilla chips %26amp; salsa (medium). Cold cuts (lots of them)





cheese, all kinds, (American, Jalapeno, Mozarella,Swiss).





Buy a fa. pack of chicken wings, season with BBQ sauce,


some of them, others with regular seasonning. Bake.





Buy sliced wheat bread, make a mixture of spam and jalapeno cheese (like a spread). Spread it on the sliced wheat bread and then cut the sandwiches into football shapes. Use mustard, to make an (X) on every one of them!!!





GOOD LUCK, GOD BLESS YOU %26amp; HAPPY LIFE

Reply:Open a bag of Lays and dump them into a bowl. He will love you for it.





Why can't I find a good woman who will offer to make snacks for me and the guys while we watch football? :D I think I will ask that!
Reply:chicken bacon wraps! they are the best, and quick n easy! a must for game snacks!


just cut up chicken tenders into small pieces, take 1 pound bacon, cut into 3rds, wrap each chicken piece in bacon then roll that into a mix of 1 cup brown sugar and 3 tablespoons chili powder, put toothpick through and bake on a broiler pan at 350 for 15 minutes (or until chicken is fully cooked) they are best hot but still great cold, they may sound spicy but they only have a small kick to them because the brown sugar is a great sweet balence to the chili powder. they are great finger foods:)
Reply:sorry, but too girlish - you are talkin about guys and football, not your best friends baby shower!!!! take him to a bar, buy him beers and shots, shoot some pool and go home %26amp; enjoy! Happy Valentines Day!

Reply:Make something he can eat off you... literally.





Generally something chocolate, make a gummi bear trail up your tummy or something.....





He is insane if he doesn't like that!!!
Reply:Throw in some assorted beef jerky. Can't go wrong there and, you won't have to cook it.
Reply:To make it special why not make a variety of wraps, they're so easy and show more thought than just buying packets of ready processed stuff. You could make up 4 or 5 different varieties, some meat based, some veggie, some cheese, some fish.....even some sweet ones with fruit and cream or yoghurt or chocolate. If you've made it all then you're showing how much more he means to you than a quick trip down to the supermarket!
Reply:Rice Krispy Squares, Trail Mix
Reply:what about totilla chips and salsa and a couple of bottled beers
