Quick, Affordable Super Bowl Treats

It's Not Too Late To Plan The Menu For A Fabulous Super Bowl Party

(CBS) 

HOT FOOD/MAIN COURSES

Ling Lings dumplings/spring rolls/potstickers
They're high quality and easy to prepare, Ling Lings All Natural Products contain no preservatives and have 0 grams of trans fat per serving. They also contain no added MSG (except for what naturally occurs in soy sauce). Each item is available in several varieties and sizes.

Serving tip: A great way to show off this choice is to serve them on Asian-style plates. Add chopsticks and you have a really great, unexpected presentation. Check out the richly colored stoneware plates at Pottery Barn.

Han's sausages
These are all-natural sausages, which are available in many styles (chicken, pork, lamb and veal) and many flavors. They can be found in the refrigerator section of many food stores. Wilson considers these a good, healthy choice.

Serving tip: Cut these into bite-size pieces, so they are easy to eat. Instead of standard wooden toothpicks, use metal ones to elevate the presentation — then place them on a rectangular platter and pass them around. An attractive choice is the Crate & Barrel rectangular platter, a versatile basic for casual or formal entertaining and family gatherings made of white porcelain. Also check out the Crate & Barrel hors d'oeuvre picks: sleek and sophisticated stainless steel picks to spear your favorite canapés, cocktail snacks or bar garnishes.

American flatbread pizza
All-natural pizzas baked in a primitive wood-fired earthen oven.

Serving tip: People tend to graze, so it's nice to have little bites of things. Offer these cut up into canapé-size pieces.

DESSERT

Ice cream sandwiches (Homemade!)
Take cookies and make a sandwich with the ice cream. Then roll the edges in shaved chocolate. You can mix and match flavors. You can do these the night before and freeze them, then pull them out at halftime.

Haagen-Dazs ice cream
Ice cream made from the purest ingredients. Available in numerous flavors, and styles (light ice cream, frozen yogurt, etc.).

Dancing Deer cookies

Scharffenberger dark chocolate
This comes from an artisan chocolate maker who follows an old-world style of chocolate making, using restored vintage European machinery and small batch production to ensure quality.

Serving tip: Place on graduated cake stands or glass pedestals to clear up room on the table, and create a vertical effect.

BEVERAGES

Fizzy Lizzy sparkling juice (non-alcoholic)
Fizzy Lizzy is made solely from fruit juice and seltzer. It comes in six flavors and has absolutely no added sugar, corn syrup, or preservatives.
