Gameday Brownie Footballs Recipe 
(Pin to Pinterest)

Here is another great recipe for your game day buffet, but this time I’m throwing out something to satisfy your sweet tooth. A simple homemade brownie recipe that looks awesome cut out with football cookie cutters to keep the theme going. I have a set similar to this one for entertaining at the big games. These brownies are delicious, decadent and will be devoured by grownups and kids alike at your party.Include crushed walnuts inside some of your batter to offer a little variety to your hungry guests. I did a double batch and made mine on a large cookie sheet since I wanted them to be thinner than usual.
