Gear up for the big game with this bright and colorful, FUN Super Bowl spread! You'll score big points with these creative football desserts: cute Starburst Pretzel Flags and tasty Snickers Touchdown Towers!

The Big Game is coming up...are you ready?
I love football mostly for the food, I'll happily admit that. Tailgating food can be so much fun! And, decorating for football parties can go beyond the traditional green, black, and white. Especially with creative football desserts.
If you haven't noticed, I am a big fan of color around here. I love how easy it is to create a bright, vibrant, FUN football party with Snickers, Skittles, and Starburst (all Official Sponsors of Super Bowl 50!), and some simple football banners, food flags, and football Bingo cards that I designed. I'll have the free football printables up on Urban Bliss Life next Monday!
Meanwhile, ready, set, hike! Let's tackle that game day food!

How to Make Candy Pretzel Flags

Another fun and truly EASY party trick for the big game: Starburst pretzel flags.
I made these for the first time about 15 years ago (pre-blog/social media times!) for my first Super Bowl party cake, and now my kids love them too!

Making these creative football desserts is SO easy!
- Unwrap the Starbursts that you want to use as flags and place on a microwave-safe plate. I like to choose a variety of colors, but you can also select colors based on your favorite team.
- Microwave Starburst pieces for 15 seconds.
- As soon as you take the Starburst pieces out of the microwave, work quickly: slightly flatten the Starburst with your fingers, then use kitchen shears to cut out flag shapes. You can create billowy, windy flag shapes or simple triangle flags as I did here.
- While the Starburst pieces are still warm, press one side a the Starburst against the edge of a pretzel stick. I use my fingers to gently press the edges slightly around the pretzel stick so that it stays better.
- Repeat with remaining Starburst candies and pretzel sticks.
Voila! Instant, easy, adorable, colorful Starburst pretzel flags!
You can put them onto cupcakes, cake, cheese cubes, or even top the Snickers Touchdown Towers with them!
