img 5447 1

This post is Part II of a three-part Super Bowl party food roundup. Be sure to check out Part I, The Savoury Team, for hearty party food ideas.

Ah, dessert—the sweets, the indulgence, the reason some of us hit the treadmill the next day and the reason some of us don’t. Either way, dessert at a party is essential.

These treats aren’t themed to football, so anyone can enjoy them. Consider this collection the go-to roundup of Foodie With Family desserts for any gathering. After all, any occasion can be a dessert occasion. Ready to nibble?

Strictly Chocolate!

Hot Chocolate on a Stick

This is one of the most popular posts on Foodie With Family for good reason. Fudgy squares of homemade chocolate are paired with homemade marshmallows on skewers. Stir them into hot milk for an ultra-creamy cup of hot chocolate or enjoy bites straight from the stick. Either way, they’re crowd-pleasers.

Black Forest Truffle Tarts

Rich and decadent, these truffle tarts combine a chocolate cookie crust with whipped chocolate ganache and a sweet black cherry topping. Chocolate lovers will flock to them, so make plenty—or risk a party panic.

Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers and S’mores Bars

Simple and delicious, this dessert uses just three basic ingredients for the classic version and one more for a deluxe option. It’s easy to make, universally appealing, and perfect for all ages. The hardest choice is whether to keep them plain or go deluxe.

Nana’s Spanish Style Hot Chocolate

Thick, dark, and not-too-sweet, this Spanish-style hot chocolate is almost pudding-like. It’s a family recipe and worth making to see why it’s so beloved. Try a small batch first—you might find yourself making it every night.

Choc-olate or Not-colate.

Velvety Chocolate or Vanilla Baked Custards

My personal favorite, these baked custards are simple, elegant, and silky-smooth. Making a few ramekins keeps a ready dessert on hand—comfort and indulgence within a spoonful.

Homemade Twix Cookies

Buttery shortbread, creamy caramel, and optional chocolate come together in two-bite cookies that capture the spirit of Twix bars. Whether you add chocolate or skip it, these cookies are irresistible.

Amish Cookies

These modestly named cookies use simple ingredients to create a delicately caramel-flavored treat that’s crisp outside, chewy inside, and sturdy enough to dunk in milk. They’re ideal for snacking and secret pocket stashes when you need a quick bite.

We all scream for… (Hint. Not football.)

Strawberry Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt

Silky cheesecake-flavored frozen yogurt swirled with bright strawberry coulis—this dessert tastes like summer. Serve it with Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers for a playful combo that guests will love.

Blueberry Frozen Yogurt

This surprisingly indulgent frozen yogurt tastes like full-fat ice cream despite being lighter. It’s a crowd-pleaser that earns cheers from everyone who tries it.

Zebravo Cake

For a show-stopping dessert, try the zebra-striped Zebravo Cake layered with vanilla ice cream and finished with hot fudge and raspberry coulis. It’s dramatic, impressive, and a fun blast from the blog’s earlier days.

Blueberry Butter Tarts with Mascarpone Ice Cream

Not a light option, but a heavenly one: fresh-churned mascarpone ice cream served with warm blueberry butter tarts. For best texture, fresh-churn the ice cream before serving or let it soften ahead of time.

Please them all…

Slow-Cooker Vanilla Bean Tapioca

This creamy, vanilla-bean specked tapioca is fuss-free when made in a slow cooker. It’s almost as beloved as the custards and works well layered with fresh or frozen blueberries for a comforting finish to any meal.

Blueberry Tiramisu

For blueberry enthusiasts, this tiramisu is a labor of love that pays off beautifully. It’s a bit of a project, but the result is a memorable dessert—worth protecting from curious pets and eager hands alike.

Honey Gingerbread Bites and Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

Bite-sized honey gingerbread and spiced pumpkin cupcakes topped with cream cheese icing are cozy, portable desserts—perfect for sampling several without guilt. Small size = more tasting opportunities.

Vanilla Bean Poundcake with Apples in Caramel Sauce

This rich poundcake is indulgent: a classic pound of butter, sugar, and flour with nine eggs, finished with apples in caramel and crème fraîche. It’s unapologetically decadent and ideal when you want to treat yourself and your guests.

Boston Coolers

Simple and nostalgic, Boston Coolers pair Vernor’s ginger ale with vanilla ice cream for an effortless dessert drink. Two ingredients and immediate crowd-pleasing satisfaction—no blender required unless you prefer it that way.
